Arsenal have a new No.11! Gabriel Martinelli shows off shirt number in kit launch

Arsenal on Thursday presented their new home kit for next season, along with a new name for their No.11 shirt number.

The new Adidas kit features a striking new collar with a lightning bolt design and will be worn for the first time as the Gunners sign off for the season against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

For every shirt sold before the season starts, £5 will go directly to The Arsenal Foundation to support local community initiatives.

The likes of Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli were front and centre of the unveiling, and it is the latter who was able to show off his new shirt number.

Martinelli has swapped No.35 for a prized spot among the top 11, the shirt number previously held by Lucas Torreira, who has spent the previous two seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid and then Fiorentina. Torreira still has a year to run on his contract.

Mesut Ozil and Robin van Persie have both previously donned the shirt, and Martin Odegaard wore it while on loan.
