In 2016, during a pre-season trip to Seattle, a young Declan Rice was handed the No. 41 shirt by West Ham’s kitman. With the lower squad numbers already taken by senior players, academy prospects were typically given higher numbers.
Rice made his senior debut wearing No. 41, kept it throughout his rise at West Ham, and when he joined Arsenal in 2023, he chose to keep the number, prompting the club to make a rare exception to its usual squad number policy.
But why did he choose to keep the number 41 shirt and why bring up No. 41 today?
Because, ladies and gentlemen, it has been 41 days since Arsenal won the league title.
