Athletic Club will become the second La Liga side to travel to north London on Saturday before the new Premier League campaign begins. On Tuesday, the club released images from a training session at the Sobha Realty Training Centre and there were signs of all six new signings.

Noni Madueke was pictured training with his new teammates for the first time with Cristhian Mosquera and Viktor Gyokeres also spotted.

Fortunately, Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber were both pictured after suffering their own injuries. However, there was no sign of Calafiori or Trossard, who are believed to have suffered problems while away with the team.

Since signing from Bologna last summer, Calafiori has had issues with injuries. According toTransfermarkt.com, the defender has missed 26 games in total.

Trossard's future is yet to be resolved with the Belgian now in the final year of his contract at the club.

Arsenal are understood to be considering pushing to sign a third attacker before the transfer window closes.
