Jeff Reine-Adelaide will wear the No. 31 shirt after
being promoted to the Arsenal first-team, the club have revealed.
The 18-year-old midfielder is being tipped for big things
at the Emirates as a result of his impressive performances for the Gunners’
academy sides and was rewarded with a promotion at the end of last month.
Reine-Adelaide follows a long line of academy products
to make the step-up in recent seasons and many are hoping the
youngster has a similar impact to the likes of Hector Bellerin and Alex
Iwobi.
There was speculation the France Under-18 international
would wear the No. 20 shirt after being pictured in Mathieu Flamini’s
old No. 20 shirt in pre-season but Arsenal have confirmed he will wear the
No. 31.
Arsene Wenger may be forced
into playing Reine-Adelaide following injuries to Iwobi and Aaron
Ramsey in Arsenal’s opening Premier League match against Liverpool.
