Arsenal are expected to complete a move for Kai Havertz soon.
The forward is set to move from Chelsea to Arsenal as part of a £67.5m deal after talks progressed quickly this week.
And now, ahead of the signing being made official, the German has reportedly chosen his shirt number for his new side.
According to talkSPORT, Havertz wore the number 29 at both Leverkusen and Chelsea, and at Arsenal, the Germany international will unsurprisingly do the same.
The number 29 is available at Arsenal ever since Matteo Guendouzi stopped playing for them in 2020 – ahead of his 2022 exit – and it has been previously worn by stars such as Ashley Cole and Granit Xhaka.
Havertz adopted the 29 shirt when he broke through the ranks at Bayer Leverkusen and has not looked back since as it is dedicated to his brother.
