[FULL LIST] EPL: Arsenal confirm players’ jersey numbers for 2026/27

Arsenal have confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026/27 English Premier League season, with new signings Bruno Guimaraes, Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier assigned shirt numbers.

The club announced the numbers on its website on Tuesday, following changes to the squad ahead of the new campaign.

“Ahead of the 2026/27 season, we have seen some new faces arrive while other members of our title-winning squad have left for pastures new.

“That has led to some rejigging of our squad numbers, with some left vacant while others have stepped in to add to each shirt’s history,” Arsenal said.

Guimaraes will wear the No. 39 shirt, a number he has used throughout his career in tribute to his father, whose taxi carried the same number when he worked in Brazil.

Tzolis has been handed the No. 17 shirt, previously worn by Oleksandr Zinchenko and made famous at Arsenal by Alexis Sanchez and Emmanuel Petit.

Meslier will wear No. 30, last worn by Raheem Sterling during the 2024/25 season and previously worn by Eddie Nketiah and Yossi Benayoun.

Arsenal said the departures of Jakub Kiwior, Christian Norgaard and Leandro Trossard had left Nos. 15, 16 and 19 vacant, while No. 18 was also available.

The club added that Nos. 25, 26, 27 and 28 had also been vacant for the past couple of seasons.
