Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was happy with Albert Sambi Lokonga in victory over Orlando City.

Arteta was pleased with Lokonga's performance.

He said, "We are trying. Where he fits comfortable and can develop in the best possible way.

"He's really comfortable playing in that position and we want to try and see what he can bring in that position as well. It is true that now we are missing Emile (Smith Rowe) and Fabio (Vieira) another so that position was a little bit short and he's done well."

On the tour, Arteta also said: "We are a huge club and you can see in every city that we are present in, the reaction and the support that we get. It's really important for our brand, for our supporters to be next to them and the USA is a huge market, we have a large fanbase and we have to promote that and make them feel that we are ready to come here and then those practices and those tours give you a different level of competition against opponents that you don't really know, they are in the middle of the season, so physically they are in a better condition than you and then to play in that heat.

"I think it brings a good adaption for when we have to go back to the UK."
