Max Dowman, Kai Havertz and the Arsenal winners and losers from Singapore pre-season games

Arsenal will arrive in Hong Kong on Tuesday for the final leg of their pre-season tour of Asia. Spending just over a week in Singapore, Mikel Arteta's side will have three full days in Hong Kong before departing for London on Friday.

Arsenal's final match of their tour sees them take on fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Kai Tak Stadium. The game presents Arsenal with the perfect chance to claim North London Derby bragging rights once again and ensure that they finish their time in Singapore and Hong Kong with three wins from three.

All eyes will be on Thursday's fixture as there is a chance new signing Viktor Gyokeres could take to the pitch in an Arsenal shirt for the very first time. The same also applies to fellow summer addition Cristhian Mosquera as he was not in the matchday squad for Sunday's win over Newcastle.

Now that Arsenal are about to arrive in Hong Kong, we take a look at the winners and losers from their first two friendlies in Singapore:

Winners

Max Dowman and Marli Salmon

Arsenal's young guns Max Dowman and Marli Salmon have grabbed the headlines so far after wowing in their game time. The 15 year olds have not looked out of place, thus seeing players such as David Raya, William Saliba and head coach Arteta wax lyrical about them over the past week.

Dowman impressed in his cameo off the bench against AC Milan and he then went up a few more levels against Newcastle as he demonstrated his quality in the final third. The teenager was outstanding in the 3-2 win and he had a big say on the match by winning the crucial penalty that Martin Odegaard converted.

Salmon has also looked at home in the Arsenal team, notably putting in some big displays at centre-back in both games. The defender has put himself about against seasoned professionals and he looks set to have a big future if he continues to go from strength to strength.

Kai Havertz

At a time when his place in the team is under serious threat following the arrival of Gyokeres, Kai Havertz has been one of Arsenal's standout players on tour so far. The German international has bulked up over the summer and he has been using his strength to trouble defenders over the past few games.

Havertz was linking up well with his teammates against AC Milan and also making some good runs but things just didn't quite come off for him. He did register two very good assists against Newcastle United, though, and Arteta may find it hard not to include him in his Premier League starting XI if he continues to impress.

Ethan Nwaneri

Ethan Nwaneri has enjoyed a very good start to pre-season. The England Under-21 ace now has further competition from Noni Madueke for a place in the team but he has displayed that he can more than play his part in a midfield three.

Nwaneri was Arsenal's spark in the first half against AC Milan and he was denied a sublime goal following a sharp turn and volley on the edge of the box. He was good in the win over Newcastle and now he will be looking for another big showing when the Gunners take on Tottenham.

New signings

Three of Arsenal's six new signings have featured for the team as part of the tour of Asia. Mosquera and Gyokeres could possibly take that number to five on Thursday, with Madueke's debut to come once the team arrive back in England.

Martin Zubimendi has impressed in midfield so far and demonstrated why exactly Arteta and the club were so intent on signing him from Real Sociedad. Christian Norgaard has also delivered two good performances and his experience could prove vital over his time at the club.

Kepa Arrizabalaga also looks to be a great piece of business to challenge Raya for the No.1 spot. The Spaniard saved three penalties in the AC Milan shootout and he also made a good save towards the end of the Newcastle contest.

Ben White

Jurrien Timber's recovery from injury has seen Ben White start the past two games at right-back. On the scoresheet in the behind-closed-doors friendly against Watford prior to departing for Asia, White has really impressed in his playing time this summer.

The ex-Brighton & Hove Albion has illustrated his quality of passing and ability to get forward and help the team in the final third. He could even have scored in both games but he ultimately missed the target with wild efforts.

White has been one of Arsenal's best players on tour so far this summer and hopefully it is a sign of what's to come in 2025/26.

Losers

The injured duo

Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes have unfortunately had a watching brief in Asia so far as they recover from their respective injuries. The latter did play against Watford but Arteta has elected to keep him on ice so far on tour.

The hope will be that they can get themselves into a position where they can get some minutes against Tottenham on Thursday. Speaking ahead of the Newcastle United game, Arteta gave an update on the duo to football.london.

"Gabi got a little niggle in training and we didn't want to take any risk. Hopefully in the next week or so he's going to be able to train and play again," outlined the Spaniard in his pre-match press conference.

"And with Jurrien, he's getting very close. He's almost hit every point that we needed after the surgery and the period of rehab that he needed. And I think in the next few days he's going to start doing it again."

Those who haven't played

Timber and Gabriel are not the only players to have not played on tour so far. Goalkeepers Tommy Setford and Alexei Rojas-Fedorushchenko have watched on from the substitutes' bench and it's highly unlikely they play in Hong Kong as Arteta will very probably only switch between Raya and Kepa.

Midfielder Louie Copley has yet to take to the pitch and the same goes for Albert Sambi Lokonga. Even though he may not have played yet, it will have been a great experience for Copley and one that could certainly benefit him in the long run.

Lokonga, on the other hand, needs a permanent move away from Arsenal for the sake of his career because his lack of minutes has only highlighted that he has no future at the club.

Noni Madueke

It really would have been beneficial for Madueke to be with the Arsenal squad on tour of the Far East. An extremely long season with Chelsea that only came to an end a few weeks ago meant he didn't make the trip in the end as he quite rightly needs some time off.

Madueke will meet his new teammates once training restarts at the club's base and he will be keen to make an immediate impression. It really is a shame he has been absent in Asia as he has missed out on crucial bonding time with the squad and also playing time as he looks to gets to grips with Arteta's demands.
