So Arsenal’s full Premier League squad has been revealed and there are not to many surprises. We all knew Petr Cech was going to be Number One for the last year of his contract, and Hector Bellerin switches from the No. 24 to the No. 2 jersey which he asked for when Matthieu Debuchy left in January.
Strangely Mo Elneny has taken Per Mertesacker’s No 4 shirt, and Granit Xhaka moves from No. 29 to 34, which is very important as he has it tattooed on his back and his arm.
Maitland-Niles takes Oxlade-Chamberlain’s No. 15 shirt which is interesting. Is Emery going to try and turn him into a wing-back like Wenger did with the Ox?
