On August 6, Arsenal officially announced that team defender Oleksandr Zinchenko will switch to the No. 17 shirt.
The club stated: “Before the start of the new season, Zinchenko will change his shirt number from No. 37 to No. 17.”
Zinchenko explained his reason for the change: “The number 17 is a very special number for me. It was the number I wore when I was younger, and whenever I played for my national team, I always requested the No. 17. Since Cedric left, the No. 17 has been available, and I asked if I could wear it. I am grateful to everyone at the club for their support.”
