Lucas Torreira's sarcastic response to Arsenal handing Gabriel Martinelli his shirt No.

Lucas Torreira issued a sarcastic response to Arsenal after the club deprived him of his shirt number and it handed it to his teammate Gabriel Martinelli.

The north London club's 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 release of the new shirt has coincided with Brazilian forward Martinelli being handed a new shirt number at the club.

The club revealed a squad number change for Martinelli next season which suggests he could be set for a more prominent role. The young Brazilian has worn the number 35 shirt since signing for the Gunners but he will now be Arsenal's new number 11 – suggesting that he now has higher status and more prominence at the club.
