So the final Premier League squads have been revealed and Arsenal’s have got some interesting additions to the squad. We sisn’t think that Laurent Koscielny would have been left out until January but it seems that Unai Emery believes that Koss the Boss will be back long before that.
Here is the official squad….
Aubameyang, Pierre-Emerick
Bellerin, Hector*
Bramall, Cohen
Cech, Petr
Elneny, Mohamed Naser Elsayed
Holding, Robert Samuel*
Iliev, Deyan*
Iwobi, Alex*
Jenkinson, Carl Daniel*
Kolasinac, Sead
Koscielny, Laurent
Lacazette, Alexandre
Leno, Bernd
Lichtsteiner, Stephan
Martinez, Damian Emiliano*
Mkhitaryan, Henrikh
Monreal, Ignacio
Mustafi, Shkodran
Ozil, Mesut
Papastathopoulos, Sokratis
Ramsey, Aaron James*
Torreira, Lucas
Welbeck, Daniel*
Xhaka, Granit
It was a surprise to see Carl Jenkinson on the list, but he is ‘home grown’ although he will never play. We also have a swathe of younsters named in the U21s which will supplement our first team. This list includes top players like Guendouzi, Smith-Rowe, Maitland-Niles, Nketiah and Ben Sheaf, all of whom could be in the first team squad at times.
