Gabriel Martinelli's new shirt number announcement has sparked an interesting theory from an Arsenal supporter ahead of the summer transfer window.
On Thursday morning, the Gunners officially launched their brand new adidas home kit for the 2022/23 season and not too long after the release it was revealed that the Brazil international has upgraded to no.11, having worn no.35 ever since arriving in north London from Brazilian side Ituano in July 2019.
This is somewhat of a surprising turn of events, especially as Martinelli has previously hinted at wanting to emulate the likes of Thierry Henry and Theo Walcott by wearing no.14 at Arsenal - a squad number that has been vacant since January following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
