"On a personal note, I am happy that we are returning to Norway and Sweden for the first time in a while because we have some fantastic support in both countries. Many supporters travel all the way to London to watch us play so it will be good to be able come to them this time and hopefully put in two good performances."

The manager is also delighted at the prospect of returning to America, following their trip in 2014 when they visited New York and took on the New York Red Bulls, who had Gunners legend Thierry Henry in their lineup.

"We have tremendous support across America and enjoyed our visit to New York in the summer of 2014 when we played the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. We look forward to giving our US fans the chance to see the team play live," the French coach added.
