Despite the shirt number having been vacated following Sanchez's switch to Old Trafford and Manchester United, UEFA rules state that Mkhitaryan must wear an unused shirt number because 7 was worn by Sanchez in the group stage victory over Cologne back in September.
For fans looking to wear our new signings number, 7 is the choice for the Premier League but Arsenal will confirm an alternative number for European competition.
I guess taking No 7 is no great surprise for many following his arrival, but that seems a ridiculous rule by UEFA and I'm at least failing to see why somebody would've even thought of that.
