Arsenal have already confirmed Viktor Gyokeres’ shirt number for the new season, putting an end to speculation that the Sweden striker could be set for another change.

Gyokeres will continue wearing the No.14 shirt at Arsenal, the same number he has used since completing his move to the Emirates Stadium.

The decision comes amid a curious £12.9 million transfer theory surrounding the striker, but Arsenal’s choice of squad number appears to offer little indication of any imminent change to his situation.

The Swedish international arrived at Arsenal after establishing himself as one of Europe’s most prolific forwards, and the club have placed significant expectations on him to lead their attack.

Gyokeres has quickly become one of the most recognisable figures in Mikel Arteta’s squad, with the No.14 shirt now firmly associated with the striker.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Arsenal’s decision is clear: Gyokeres remains No.14.

The Gunners will hope the striker can justify the faith placed in him as they look to challenge for major honours this season.
