Arsenal’s first 8 opening games of the 2026/2027 premier league season:
Champions vs Coventry
Aston Villa Vs Champions
Champions Vs Chelsea
Sunderland Vs Champions
Brighton Vs Champions
Champions Vs Leeds
Nottingham Forest Vs Champions
Champions Vs Everton
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.
