🚨🔴⚪️ BREAKING: Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal, HERE WE GO! 🇧🇷
Agreement in place with Newcastle after long talks and personal terms in place with Bruno since July. Fee worth £75m.
New midfielder for Mikel Arteta. 🔜
In the current Arsenal squad, there are 5 players who are 27 years old: Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice.
Back in 2019, Arsenal signed William Saliba for £27M from AS Saint-Étienne, a deal that has become one of the most important long-term investments in the club’s modern era.
And now the number 27 shows up again, but why?
Because it’s been 27 days since Arsenal won the league title.
In the Premier League, a club can submit a maximum of 25 senior players for the official squad registration (the “25-man squad list”).
But the question many are asking is, why 25? Because 25 in this case is exactly the same number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.
