Alexandre Lacazette could make his Arsenal debut next week after being named in the 25-man squad for the tour of Australia and China.
The France striker, who joined Arsenal from Lyon for what is understood to be a club-record fee, flew out on Sunday night with the team ahead of Thursday's tour opener against Sydney FC.
He is joined in the squad by the club's other summer signing, Bosnia-Herzegovina international Sead Kolasinac, and fellow France forward Olivier Giroud, who has been linked with a move away from Arsene Wenger's side this summer.
There is no place in the squad for defenders Kieran Gibbs, Mathieu Debuchy and Carl Jenkinson, or striker Lucas Perez, whose agent has said he wants to leave the club.
Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who spent the last two seasons on loan at Roma, is also not travelling amid reports of a move to Juventus.
Forward Alexis Sanchez and defender Shkodran Mustafi are not included following their Confederations Cup exploits.
Defenders Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers and Rob Holding, who were involved at the U21 European Championship, also remain at home.
Arsenal play two matches in Australia before taking on Bayern Munich in Shanghai and Chelsea in Beijing.
