The new Premier League season is on the horizon with preparations now well underway for the 2025/26 campaign at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal discover their schedule for the new season today (Wednesday), with any new signings now knowing who they could make their competitive debuts for the club against. The Gunners will be hoping to have a couple of new faces in their squad for the opening game of the season.

Arsenal are said to remain in contact with the player over a possible move, although personal terms with Sesko himself are yet to be fully agreed.
