Why #17?Zinchenko had wanted 17 for eight seasons — the number he wore as a boy and wears for Ukraine — but it was taken at Manchester City, at PSV and at Arsenal too. When Cédric Soares left in 2024 he asked for it and swapped his 35 for it: "The number 17 is a very special number to me. It’s why I wear it for my country."Source: arsenal.com
