In one of the more random segments that Arsenal have decided to put out on their official YouTube channel, Francis Coquelin revealed why he includes his shirt number in his signature.

The midfielder explained how the no.34 was the number he was given when he returned from loan and apparently he has every intention of keeping it.

According to the 25-year-old, he’s experienced a lot in that shirt and this is why it means so much.

It’s good to see that shirt numbers also hold significance to those who don’t wear single, ‘first team’ digits. Whether that’s down to superstition, pride or something else.
