Gabriel Jesus will wear the No.9 shirt for Arsenal as the club look set to announce his signing from Manchester City.
The Gunners are on the verge of announcing the signing of the Brazil international in a landmark £45million deal which will give a major boost to their attacking options. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have both left the club this year, with Eddie Nketiah as the only recognised striker remaining in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
The nine shirt was last worn by Lacazette, who recently left the club for Lyon following the expiration of his contract at the end of last season. The squad number is already a favourite of Jesus', given it was the number he donned during his five-year stay at the Etihad, with Edu playing a big role in his switch to the Emirates.
