Arsenal keep Gabriel Martinelli's dream shirt number free in hint new signing will take

Arsenal have handed Gabriel Martinelli the 11 shirt instead of his dream number - the vacant 14 - suggesting Arsenal could be keeping it free for a big summer signing.

The north Londoners' new strip is on sale with Mike Arteta's side set to wear it for the first time in their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday, at home to Everton.

The jersey's new-look design includes a striking collar with white sleeves, but the kit launch wasn't the only announcement with Martinelli being handed a new squad number. The Brazilian will wear the number 11 as he swaps out his old 35. Martinelli has enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Gunners and has finally started to realise the potential that was seen in flashes when he first joined the club as a teenager.
