Arsenal jet out to Australia: Giroud on the plane; Sanchez, Gibbs and Debuchy absent

ARSENAL have jetted out to Australia for their pre-season tour.

The squad looked to be in high spirits as they flew out from Stansted Airport last night. 

New signings Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac were on the plane, along with Olivier Giroud despite rumours he could be leaving the club this summer.

There was no place for Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson and Mathieu Debuchy – hinting their departures could be imminent. 

While Alexis Sanchez and Shkodran Mustafi have both been given extra time off after the Confederations Cup.
