| Mohamed Elneny will wear the number 35 shirt |
The Egyptian international had his £7.4million transfer from FC Basel confirmed today.
Gedion Zelalem, who is on loan at Rangers, was the last Arsenal player to wear that shirt number.
Elneny could make his first appearance in an Arsenal shirt on Sunday, when they face Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
And the 23-year-old is keen to make an immediate mark at the club.
He said: "Arsenal is one of those teams that everyone enjoys watching and of course I would love to play for such a great team.

"Mr Wenger is a highly respected manager and one of the world’s best managers. It is my honour to be trained under his management.
"It is one the biggest clubs in the world, I know everything about it and its players.
"I would like to tell [the fans] that, although you have not seen much of me, I promise I will contribute positively with the team. I am hoping that we win the Premier League and cup this season, and the Champions League as well."
