Arsenal's new number 14 will experience his first-ever taste of Premier League football on Sunday afternoon, as Viktor Gyokeres squares up to former Sporting Lisbon boss and current Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.
The Sweden international snubbed a reunion with his old head coach, turned down the chance to represent Juventus and also took no notice of big-money offers from Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window, all out of his desire to represent Mikel Arteta's Gunners.
The three-time Premier League champions threw in possibly the most iconic jersey in their history to sweeten the deal, bestowing Gyokeres with the number 14 shirt most famously sported by all-time top scorer Thierry Henry and achieving record-breaking sale numbers soon after.
Fourteen is just one number out of many that football players can don on the pitch, though, and some less conventional numbers often hold a sentimental feeling in the hearts of players; Declan Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelly are two current prime examples.
Here, Sports Mole provides an exhaustive list of the greatest-ever Arsenal players by shirt number, including some notable names more than once if they have sported more than one jersey for the Gunners.
