Arsenal stars are enjoying time away from the grass with their families after the disappointment on the final day of the Premier League earlier this month.
The Gunners’ players have flown to various locations around the world for some relaxation after an intense season in which they finished second in the English top flight.
Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale spend their time off in England before joining up with the England squad ahead of the European Championships.
Meanwhile, Thomas Partey is engaged to his partner Janine Mackson, proposing on the beach, and David Raya is on holiday in the Maldives.
Others also spend some time in the sun. Kai Havertz flew out of Britain for a short break with Captain Martin Odegaard, both accompanied by their partners.

The German forward has now joined the German squad for the home championship, but the same cannot be said for Odegaard, who will have an extended holiday as Norway failed to qualify for the competition.
Saka and Rice were spotted close to home at an event apparently organized by Arsenal themselves.
The latter not only poses for photos at events, but also does so for professional photographers.
The England midfielder featured in a recent edition of Mens Health UK and shared his thoughts on England’s chances in Germany this summer.
Speaking to the magazine, he said: ‘With the team we have, the players we have and everyone in form playing well, you have to back yourself to win. I feel like this is our chance; it’s time.
‘What excuses can you think of? We have a great manager and great staff behind the scenes and it’s a good group to go away with. This summer we can do something very special.’
