Arsenal have announced several changes to players' shirt numbers for the 2018/19 season, with Petr Cech officially becoming the club's No 1.

The 36-year-old previously wore the No 33 shirt at the Emirates, but now takes possession of the previously vacant No 1 shirt.

Elsewhere, Hector Bellerin moves from No 24 to No 2, while Granit Xhaka has swapped his No 29 shirt for the No 34.

Finally, Per Mertesacker's old No 4 shirt has been snapped up by Mohamed Elneny following the German defender's retirement, trading in the No 35.

Despite wearing the No 33 shirt, Cech has been Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper since joining from London rivals Chelsea three years ago.
