Oleksandr Zinchenko has changed his squad number at Arsenal from 35 to 17.
The number has been vacated by the departure of Cédric Soares, and the Ukraine international has revealed the reason for the switch.
“The number 17 is a very special number to me,” the defender told the club’s official website.
“It was the number I wore as a young player, and I’ve always requested to wear 17 when playing for my country.”
Zinchenko also revealed that if any supporters have already purchased the new season’s kit with the number 35, the club will switch it to 17 free of charge.
