London (AFP) – Bruno Guimaraes made his first Arsenal appearance as the Premier League champions were held to a 1-1 draw by Como in their final pre-season friendly at the Emirates on Wednesday.

Guimaraes, signed for a reported £75 million ($101 million) from top-flight rivals Newcastle last week, was introduced at half-time after Myles Lewis-Skelly's opening goal for Arsenal had been cancelled out by Martin Baturina.
Lewis-Skelly's goal, which followed a poor pass from Como goalkeeper Jean Butez, came amid reports the teenage midfielder could be leaving Arsenal.
The 19-year-old celebrated his goal by making a heart gesture with his hands, in Arsenal's last friendly before Sunday's Community Shield against Manchester City.
