Arsenal have already confirmed Viktor Gyokeres shirt number decision amid £12.9m transfer theory

Viktor Gyokeres will not be taking the No9 shirt at Arsenal, despite a bizarre fan theory over his lack of appearances so far this season.The Arsenal No9 shirt - previously worn by the likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Nicolas Anelka and Eduardo in the Premier League era - is now vacant following Gabriel Jesus’ move to Barcelona.With the No9 shirt usually reserved for strikers, specifically centre-forwards, there has been a theory that Gyokeres would take it on at Arsenal following the Brazilian’s departure.In fact, there was some chatter on social media that the reason for the Sweden international not featuring in either of the Gunners’ opening two Premier League games of the season was shirt number related.Viktor Gyokeres is yet to feature for Arsenal in the Premier League this seasonGettyTh
