Following Henry’s departure in 2007, the number 14 was left vacant for a year before 16-year-old Theo Walcott was handed the shirt after a breakout season with seven goals and six assists.

When Henry returned on loan in 2012, Walcott kept the shirt, demonstrating Arsenal’s faith in his development.

The Southampton academy graduate never quite reached Henry’s heights but provided consistent threat from wide positions and later as a central striker.

Aubameyang inherited the number after joining from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018, though it wasn’t his first choice as he preferred number 7, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s arrival meant that was taken.

The Gabonese striker delivered immediate impact, scoring 10 goals in just 13 Premier League appearances in his debut season.

He finished with 92 goals and 21 assists in 163 appearances across all competitions.

His defining moment came in the 2020 FA Cup final with a brace that secured Arsenal’s only major trophy during Mikel Arteta’s tenure.

He left for Crystal Palace in summer 2024 for £30 million, finishing with 38 goals and 10 assists in 168 games.

While his numbers fell short of predecessors, Nketiah’s work rate and crucial goals earned fan appreciation during his seven-year Emirates career.
