Arsenal are aiming for their third pre-season win in a row when they take on Major League Soccer side Orlando City on Thursday, with Gabriel Jesus looking to maintain his fine start since moving from Manchester City.
The Gunners started their campaign with a 5-3 win at German second-division side Nuremberg, when Jesus scored twice in his first game for the North London club.
A trip to the US was next up as they took on Premier League rivals Everton in Baltimore, when Mikel Arteta's side again came out on top, this time 2-0 with Jesus and Bukayo Saka finding the net.
“He looks really sharp, really dynamic,” manager Arteta said of the £45 million ($54 million) signing from City after the game. "[He’s got] a really good understanding with his teammates straight away.
“They are looking for him, he’s generating chances, good connections around specific spaces we want to exploit with him especially, and yeah, we’re really happy.”
After Orlando, Arsenal take on London rivals Chelsea in the Florida Cup on Sunday and their final pre-season game follows at home to Spanish side Sevilla on July 30.
First up in the Premier League will be Crystal Palace, managed by former Gunners midfielder Patrick Vieira, on August 5.

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
