Mikel Arteta's Arsenal secured six wins out of seven games played as they look to finally secure the long-awaited Champions League spot they have desired for so long.
An astonishing 26 goals were scored throughout Arsenal's tours of Germany and the USA - as well as some closed-off friendlies in London Colney and the return of the Emirates Cup.
Arsenal's new number nine, Gabriel Jesus, was the top scorer in the preseason, finishing off seven of the 26 - with an impressive hattrick in the 6-0 thrashing of Spanish outfit Sevilla.
But how exactly did they get on in the prelude to their quest to success this season?
This recap will cover all the goals, debuts and weaknesses that can be picked up on before Arsenal open the Premier League season on Friday night against a tough opposition of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Game 1: Ipswich Town (H)
The Gunners returned to duty after a disappointing finish to last season with a behind-closed-doors face-off against Ipswich Town. Arteta named a strong side consisting of players returning from loans, including Reiss Nelson, Hector Bellerin & Pablo Mari.
Having been handed the prestigious number 14 shirt, his first appearance in the highly-coveted kit was 'Henry-esque' as Eddie Nketiah secured a hattrick in a rapid 35 minutes.
Albert Sambi Lokonga also added to the scoresheet with his first goal for Arsenal - after Nketiah put it on a plate for the Belgian midfielder to score.
Having spent half a season with Championship side Middlesborough, Folarin Balogun was keen to prove why he can be in contention to break through to the first team this season, making it five with a neat effort past the Blues' keeper.
However, Ipswich Town finally spoiled Arthur Okonkwo's chances of a first clean sheet, with Sone Aluko's goal merely a consolation.
Game 2: Nurnberg (A)
Arsenal's short but sweet trip to Germany not only gave the players a chance to tour the retro collection of shirts and boots at the Adidas Headquarters but also a chance to reveal new signing Gabriel Jesus to a worldwide audience.
Fans thought they were witnessing deja-vu when debutant Matt Turner let two past in quick succession leaving Arsenal trailing by two at the interval.
Emile Smith Rowe's only appearance in the preseason was ended with the introduction of the Gunners' Brazilian talisman who didn't take long to get things underway. Jesus took the ball on his preferred right-hand side and played through a delicious ball to Eddie Nketiah across goal who slid it perfectly back to the former Manchester City man beating the goalkeeper emphatically as the ball rebounded aggressively against the roof of the net.
It's not an Arsenal match without the annual Mohamed Elneny screamer either, which seemed to come early this year when an audacious attempt at the edge of the area flew past Christian Mathenia. Two own goals in quick succession put the game to bed, but Lukas Schleimer was there to pull one back for the Bundesliga 2 side, revealing some cracks that are yet to be patched for the Gunners.
Game 3: Everton (A)
A trip to the USA followed suit where it was some familiar faces in the team that Arsenal demolished on the final day of last season. This time it was no different, and the Gunners' new formidable frontline punished Frank Lampard's side again. Gabriel Jesus continued his great form in a red and white shirt, while Bukayo Saka added to the scoreline only minutes later.
As a first real test against Premier League opposition, Arsenal showed that their new look attack was ready to take on anyone, albeit one of the lowest scores recorded by Mikel Arteta's men in this preseason.
Game 4: Orlando City (A)
The streets of Orlando were swarmed with red and white as MLS's 5th place side took on the Premier League's 5th placed team at the Exploria Stadium.
It didn't take Arsenal long to get things running again with Gabriel Martinelli joining the party; his deflected attempt in the fifth minute flew past Orlando's keeper with ease.
There was a minor scare for Arsenal's international audience when Facundo Torres equalised, but it was cancelled out by Eddie Nketiah's strike in the 66th minute and Reiss Nelson's tap-in with ten minutes to go.
Game 5: Chelsea (A)
The final game of the tour across the pond was against a strong Chelsea side that had also improved in the summer, with the acquisitions of Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling strengthening what the Blues had already. The two teams previously had an encounter at the Bridge where Hale End showed its superiority in a 3-1 win, and there was no change at the Camping World Stadium. It was also a chance for new signing Oleksandr Zinchenko to be tested out at left-back, having signed for the Gunners from Manchester City in the build-up to the game.
Who else but Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring again with a delicate chip over Edouard Mendy. New captain Martin Ødegaard's attempt was drilled viciously into the bottom right corner. Bukayo Saka latched onto a loose ball after a tremendous triple save by Mendy, but lost out to England and Arsenal number seven on the fourth try. To make matters even worse for Thomas Tuchel's side, Cedric Soares found Albert Sambi Lokonga with a perfectly-weighted cross deep into injury time, with the shirt coming off and the badge being kissed and embraced in front of a fully sold-out stadium abroad.
Arsenal's dominance was now starting to be shown to a wider audience, with this game being a real statement of intent to what the Gunners can bring this season, whether it be their tightly-packed defence consisting of Gabriel and the talented William Saliba, who has returned after an impressive spell at Marseille, or the plethora of attacking options that can rotate freely when called upon.
Game 6: Brentford (H)
The only loss of the preseason schedule came to the team that Arsenal were shocked by on the opening day of the season last year. There are fortunately no highlights available to witness this loss, but from what was stated in the match report was that Arsenal's side was an alternative eleven, with no starters except Eddie Nketiah, whereas Thomas Frank elected for new goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha and some experience in Rico Henry and Bryan Mbuemo.
Although the loss was alarming, it shouldn't be looked into as much as the game behind closed doors was to ensure that Arteta's options were returning to match fitness as quickly as possible. This ensures that during the lengthy campaign that includes fixtures in Europe midweek, there are options to replace players that require a rest.
Game 7: Sevilla (H)
A full Emirates Stadium was greeted by the return of the Emirates Cup, with Arsenal's last test welcoming Sevilla to North London. It was clear they had overstayed their welcome, and fans were treated to four goals in 19 minutes. Bukayo Saka was fouled in the penalty area and converted cooly from the spot. Gabriel Jesus then bagged his first two goals at his new home, smashing it in after a melee in the box and then redirecting Gabriel Martinelli's cross into the back of the net.
Arsenal's high press proved effective as Sevilla were caught at the back, and Saka's first-time finish sneaked through the outstretched hands of Bounou. Jesus secured his first hat trick with thirteen minutes left to the delight of the North Bank, and Eddie Nketiah had to jump in on the action with a beautiful goal to seal the deal before full time.
Having disappointedly succumbed to the pressure at the back-end of last season, Arteta's side should now be full of confidence as they look to prove to the fans and the rest of the world why they should be a team fighting for Champions League spots and potentially trophies. It's clear there is ambition and lots of passion from the way they have started, but we will have to wait and see if they can replicate the spectacular form they have been in when it comes to the tiring season that awaits them.
