Arsenal ace Emile Smith Rowe has hinted at a major shirt number change.

The Sun says Smith Rowe appears to have leaked his own Arsenal squad number for 2021-22 - with the in-demand midfielder given the No10 shirt.

The Gunners superstar in the making, 20, wore the No32 jersey last season as he started 2020-21 as a fringe player.

Smith Rowe is now expected to sign a new five-year contract with just two years to run on his current deal.

And as a token of his importance to the club, Smith Rowe seems to have been handed the No10 jersey most-recently worn at the Emirates by Mesut Ozil.

A leaked picture has quickly circulated on social media which shows a beaming Smith Rowe wearing a mint-green training kit with the number '10' on it.
