Arsenal are heading stateside this summer and will be contributing to more than 80,000 miles that the Premier League's big six clubs will travel between them on their pre-season tours this summer.
Pre-season friendlies were once just a way of getting squads match fit and ready for the new campaign.
Often they just involved local clubs, maybe trips to Europe and a following of some of the club's most loyal supporters. But now, that is not the case, with the big clubs travelling far and wide on money-spinning tours that draw in hundreds of thousands of fans.
