Arsenal have handed Gabriel Martinelli a new shirt number.

The Brazilian winger has worn the No35 at the Emirates since arriving from Ituano in 2019.

But after establishing himself as a first team regular under Mikel Arteta this campaign, the club have rewarded him with a new number.

Having chipped in with five goals and as many assists in 28 Premier League games this term, the youngster will don the No11 shirt from next season.

The announcement was made during the Gunners’ home kit launch for next term.

A statement from the North London outfit read: “Introducing our new number 11 for next season… Congratulations, Gabi.”
