Arsenal squad: Confirmed shirt numbers for 2024/25
- Another huge season beckons for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal
- Gunners have challenged for Premier League title in back-to-back seasons
- The numbers each player will wear which number in 2024/25
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have scared Manchester City twice, but can they go all the way in 2024/25?
The upcoming season is far from the endgame for Arteta's project in north London, but it does feel like a significant campaign for the Spaniard with expectations only increasing following back-to-back Premier League title challenges.
The Gunners are bound to focus on outgoings and high-quality arrivals this summer, with Arteta aiming to streamline his squad similar to how Pep Guardiola has in Manchester.
Here are Arsenal's squad numbers for the 2024/25 campaign.
Arsenal squad numbers 2024/25
Declan Rice was Arsenal's marquee signing of the 2023 summer transfer window but didn't take a normal shirt number upon his arrival from West Ham United. Instead, the England international has a unique relationship with the 41 jersey and isn't expected to swap for the 2024/25 season.
Aaron Ramsdale is still in possession of the regular number 1 goalkeeper jersey, though it could open up if the former Sheffield United shot-stopper secures a move away from the Emirates Stadium this year.
The Gunners are fully stocked from numbers 1 to 11 in their first-team squad, with 13 the lowest digit currently available to new signings.

Arsenal squad numbers available to new signings
Cedric Soares and Mohamed Elneny have both been released by the club, leaving numbers 17 and 25 vacant for any new additions to Arteta's squad.
There are currently no single digit numbers available with Kieran Tierney returning from Real Sociedad on loan. The player's injury, sustained at Euro 2024, means the club will find it hard to find a buyer this summer.
Number 23 has grown into a fairly regular option for playmakers, while 26, 28 and 30 are also currently available. However, with departures expected, more numbers should open up.

What numbers can Premier League players wear?
Premier League squad number rules aren't exactly strict, with players allowed to wear any number from 1-99. More and more first-teamers don bigger numbers, with some opting to retain the number they wore when they first broke into the senior set-up.
The main rule is that it must be unique within the team. Also following tradition, goalkeepers will generally occupy numbers one and 13. Zero is also not allowed.
Can Premier League players change squad numbers?
There's scope for players to change numbers, but these changes can usually only occur in pre-season. Premier League clubs must submit their squads for the season, with confirmed shirt numbers included, at the start of September.
Numbers cannot change once the squads have been submitted.
