Arsenal fans have been buzzing with excitement as two iconic shirt numbers become available for potential signings. With Emile Smith Rowe’s departure to Fulham, the number 10 shirt is up for grabs for the first time in three years. This number has been worn by legendary players such as Dennis Bergkamp, Jack Wilshere, and Mesut Ozil in the past.
On the other hand, Eddie Nketiah’s potential move to Marseille could leave the number 14 shirt vacant. This number has been previously donned by the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Theo Walcott. Nketiah’s departure would mark only the fourth time the shirt has been available since Thierry Henry made it iconic.
While there is uncertainty surrounding Nketiah’s transfer, it is possible that a new signing could step in to claim one of these historic shirt numbers. With the transfer window still open, Arsenal fans are eagerly awaiting to see who will inherit these prestigious numbers for the upcoming season.
As the new season approaches, the anticipation grows for the Gunners’ faithful. Will a current player make the switch to one of these iconic numbers, or will a new signing make their mark by taking on the legacy of legends who have worn these shirts in the past? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the history and tradition of these shirt numbers at Arsenal will continue to hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
