A video to launch Arsenal’s 2023/24 home kit has been leaked online – and one player features within it despite being linked with a move away.
It features gold markings that appear to be in homage to the 2005/06 redcurrant kit, which celebrated Arsenal‘s final season at Highbury before their move to the Emirates Stadium.
The club’s logo also features gold, while the kit has white sleeves.
The kit could effectively welcome in a new era at the Emirates Stadium, with manager Mikel Arteta planning significant changes to his squad to build on this season’s second-placed finish in the Premier League.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who claim that the Gunners are targeting Declan Rice, Moussa Diaby and Marc Guehi, amongst others, in what could be a summer of major spending.
And the club’s kit launch video, featuring existing players, contains one first team squad member that could make way for one of those signings.
Arsenal kit launch video ‘leaked’
In the video produced by Adidas Brasil featuring players from both the men’s and women’s teams (via afcstuff), Arsenal academy graduate Emile Smith Rowe is featured prominently – despite being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Wearing the new 2023/24 kit, the 23-year-old opens the video before looking directly at the camera.
He is one of only two Arsenal men’s players to feature in the 16-second clip, with the other being forward Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal women’s stars Kim Little and Stina Blackstenius are also involved.
Smith Rowe has made just 11 Premier League appearances this season, failing to score and providing only one assist.
An injury derailed the first half of the 22-year-old’s campaign, but since making his return on March 1 against Everton, Smith Rowe has failed to start a game for Arsenal in any competition.
The Daily Mirror claim that the Gunners could allow the attacking midfielder, who came through the club’s Hale End academy, to leave this summer, with Leicester‘s James Maddison his potential replacement.
