The Arsenal senior team is taking a break from football as many stars travel before training for the 2023–24 season begins.

After their outstanding 2022–23 season, Arsenal’s stars have earned a well-deserved break, and the majority of the first-team squad appears to be doing just that.

After the impending one-month vacation from football, Mikel Arteta’s team—who gave Manchester City a run for their money in the Premier League title race—will probably be fired up for the new season in pursuit of hardware. Before beginning preseason in July, some members of the team will compete in Euro 2024 qualifying with their respective nations. The season is scheduled to start on Friday, August 12.

But before all that, a number of Arsenal players have taken off on vacation to make the most of the time off before work resumes. Oleksandr Zinchenko traveled back to his native Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and was photographed doing so with Andriy Shevchenko.

Bukayo Saka also found time to travel back to Nigeria, where his parents had lived before making the decision to immigrate to the UK for economic reasons. The 21-year-old has traveled to the continent of Africa before and explained his heritage to show his delight in being from there. Saka met with Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, during his most recent visit.

After collaborating with the BigShoe organization in late 2022, Saka also paid for 120 Nigerian youngsters to receive life-saving surgeries. Jorginho, on the other hand, left for America with his travel companion after being seen at the Brooklyn Bridge.

Gabriel Jesus has also traveled, as the Brazilian striker documented on Instagram with his young daughter when traveling to Italy with his family. Aaron Ramsdale has so far decided to stay in England and announced this morning that he will have a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 in 2023 after sharing a photo of himself and his fiancee at a Peter Kay concert on Saturday night.
