Unai Emery drops 5 Arsenal players for pre-season tour of Singapore

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has left out five Arsenal players from his 25-man squad, that has travelled to Singapore for a pre-season tour.

The Evening Standard reports that Carl Jenkinson, Chuba Akpom, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Joel Campbell and Krystian Bielik are all absent.

The Gunners will play Atletico Madrid and Emery’s former club Paris Saint-German in the International Champions Cup next week.

Their omission is believed to be linked with their immediate or long-term future, with Reine-Adelaide and Bielik likely to head out on loan.

Akpom is understood to be close to a £2m switch to Belgian side Sint-Truiden and Campbell is free to leave the Gunners permanently following several loan switches.

Arsenal beat Boreham Wood 8-0 in their first pre-season friendly last Saturday, before thrashing Crawley Town 9-0 behind closed doors on Wednesday.
