Bukayo Saka and William Saliba have been handed new shirt numbers at Arsenal.

Saka will forego the No.77 he has been wearing since his breakthrough, and has been challenged to follow in the footsteps of club icons like Liam Brady, David Rocastle and Robert Pires, by being handed the No.7 shirt.

Incoming French youngster William Saliba has also had his shirt number for next season confirmed too.

The centre-back, returning after a season-long loan deal at Saint Etienne, will wear the No.4 shirt.

Mohamed Elneny, the previous owner of the No.4, will revert to No.25.
