Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has taken a new shirt number.

The Ghanaian international will be representing the Gunners for his second campaign at the club, following his £45m move from Atletico Madrid in October.

Last season, Partey donned the number 18 shirt, but he was keen to switch it to his "lucky" number five.

Arsenal have now confirmed that Partey will represent the number in the coming season.

He told Arsenal's official website: "I like the Number five because it's one of the most important numbers in the team and it is also a lucky number for me.

"It's the number I've worn for the past few years, so for me it's one of the best numbers."
