This Week in Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) get together to discuss the first leg of Arsenal's preseason tour in the USA. They begin by chatting about the impressive performances from some of the academy talents who featured against Bournemouth and Manchester United, particular those of Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ayden Heaven, and Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand. They then discuss Riccardo Calafiori's imminent announcment as an Arsenal player before moving on to a conversation about the potential signing of Mikel Merino. They then give a fond tribute to Emile Smith Rowe as well as their thoughts about whether selling him to Fulham is the right move, before remembering to give Jurrien Timber a shoutout for his preseason performances as well.
