Arsenal have spent the last few weeks making some very exciting announcements.

Viktor Gyokeres has finally signed for Arsenal as the club’s new number nine, while Cristhian Mosquera has also joined the Gunners.

Meanwhile, non-transfer-related announcements are also coming thick and fast.

Gabriel Magalhaes recently signed a new contract, while Myles Lewis-Skelly has also penned a new deal.

On top of that, Arsenal have made some more exciting announcements lately with their new kits.

Declan Rice was a big fan of Arsenal’s away kit, but now, the Gunners have released their third kit, which has gone down an absolute treat as well.

Riccardo Calafiori reacts to Arsenal third kit announcement

Speaking on Arsenal’s TikTok page, Riccardo Calafiori was asked to give his verdict on Arsenal’s new third strip.

The Italian described the kit as ‘amazing’, claiming that it is his favourite of the three strips.

“Amazing, I’m pretty sure it’s my favourite one to be honest. The details, I love the colour, so good,” Calafiori said.

It has to be said that this kit is a beauty. The details on the strip are absolutely brilliant, and the colour scheme feels perfect for Arsenal.

Whether or not Arsenal win the league this year remains to be seen, but they will undoubtedly be the most stylish team in the Premier League this year.

How often do Arsenal wear their third kit?

As Calafiori says, Arsenal’s third kit is a thing of beauty, but, unfortunately, we may not get to see this strip worn all that often this season.

Indeed, Arsenal very rarely wear their third kits, and with both red and blue options available to them this season, it’s hard to see this kit getting too many outings this term.

Arsenal only wear their third kits once or twice per season, and last year, they only wore their third strip once in the Premier League in a loss away at Bournemouth.

This kit may be one of the best in the Premier League, but, sadly, we may not get to see it worn all that often.

Arsenal will likely wear this kit away at Crystal Palace this season to avoid a colour clash, but, beyond that, they may not use it all that often.
