EXTRA TIME: Elneny gets new shirt number as Aubameyang models new Arsenal kit

Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has been handed the no. 4 jersey for the 2018-19 season.

The Gunners revealed that the 25-year-old who extended his stay at the Emirates Stadium in March, will wear the legendary jersey number previously worn by Patrick Vieira, Nwankwo Kanu, Cesc Fabregas and Per Mertesacker - with his previous no. 34 going to Granit Xhaka.

Elneny played 32 games across all competitions this season before suffering an ankle injury against Newcastle United in April.
