By all accounts, Arsenal will be very busy in the summer transfer window. With rumours swirling around about potential incomings as well as outgoings, fans can expect plenty of changes to the first-team squad.
Perhaps the biggest one could be shirt numbers. Any new arrival at the Emirates Stadium will be allocated a squad number, but certain departures could allow those who are staying to make a change, whilst one particular exit in the January transfer window may benefit Gabriel Martinelli.
Ahead of this season, Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe upgraded from no.18 and no.32 to no.5 and no.10 respectively, whilst Martin Odegaard was handed the no.8 shirt upon sealing his permanent move from Real Madrid after wearing no.11 during his loan spell with Arsenal last season.
