Arsenal were expected to bring in an attacker after Gabriel Jesus suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury last month, while Bukayo Saka is yet to return from a hamstring issue.

He joined claiming he wanted to "write new sporting history" but had a prolonged spell on the sidelines after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during Brazil's World Cup qualifier against Uruguay in October 2023.

Arsenal have been short of attacking options after losing Bukayo Saka to a long-term hamstring injury and striker Gabriel Jesus with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Both winger Woodburn and prop Painter will undergo surgery on anterior cruciate knee ligament injuries they suffered late last month.

Neither team had the star power of Inter Miami, especially after Galaxy playmaker Riqui Puig was ruled out of the game with a torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained in the Western Conference final.
