But there was no place in the squad for the exciting teenagers Tolaji Bola and Aaron Eyoma, meaning they will continue preparing for the forthcoming season with the Gunners academy teams.
Hale End Academy products Akpom and Iwobi were both named in the starting XI last Friday as Arsenal began their pre-season schedule by playing out a 1-1 draw with Lens in France.
The attacking midfielder was included in the Nigerian provisional squad for the Olympic Games but was not released by the London club.
