Henrikh Mkhitaryan to take No.7 shirt vacated by Alexis Sanchez

A post shared by Arsenal Official (@arsenal) on

Arsenal have confirmed that midfielder of the Armenian national team Henrikh Mkhitaryan will wear the No.7 shirt vacated by Alexis Sanchez, the press service of the FC reported.

The No 7 shirt was vacated by Alexis this month but, because Arsenal's former forward wore the number during the group-stage win against Cologne back in September, UEFA rules state that Mkhitaryan must wear a different number for the remainder of our Europa League campaign.
The 29-year-old Armenia midfielder on Monday signed a long-term contract with Arsenal.
