EPL: Arsenal’s Zinchenko to wear new Jersey number next season

Arsenal has announced that Oleksandr Zinchenko will don the number 17 shirt for the upcoming season. Previously, this shirt was worn by Cedric Soares, who recently departed the club.

Zinchenko expressed his excitement about the change on Arsenal’s website: “The number 17 holds a special significance for me. It’s the number I wore as a young player and have always requested to wear when playing for my country. With 17 now available since Cedric left, I asked if I could switch. I’m grateful to everyone at the club for their support.”
