Thomas Partey has been included in the Arsenal squad for their pre-season tour of America.

The midfielder, the best-paid player at the club on around £200,000-a-week, did not feature in last Friday’s 5-3 win over Nurnberg in Germany.

But Partey has been named in the Arsenal squad that that departed for the United States on Wednesday.
