'Sane in this kit!' - Arsenal announcement for next season triggers sixth summer signing frenzy

Arsenal have unveiled their away kit for the 2022/23 season, and some supporters have an idea over which transfer target should be wearing it.

Expected to be on show for the first time later this week when the Gunners face Orlando City in a pre-season friendly as part of the club's USA tour, the new Adidas away kit is all-black which combines a bronze cannon badge and bronze metallic trims with an all-over AFC graphic inspired by the Arsenal lettering fans pass on their way to Emirates Stadium.

The away kit launch video which featured Aston Mack, the inspirational founder of the Orlando Freedom Fighters, also included current Gunners stars Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe, William Saliba and £3m summer signing from Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo in Marquinhos.

Of course, the new away kit will also be worn by two other new recruits next season in Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus, whilst Oleksandr Zinchenko's name looks set to be added to the list amid talk of him closing in on a £30m transfer from Premier League rivals Manchester City.

With that said, the announcement of the new away kit has garnered plenty of reaction on social media, with supporters calling for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu to install a third player this summer with ties to Man City as their next priority in the summer transfer window.

@AFC_Capt said: "Sane in this kit would hit so hard", to which @AFC_Yusuf agreed by saying: "Sane in this kit" accompanied with a fire and star-struck emoji. Meanwhile, @bentbhhh said the new away kit "would look cold on Sane" and @afct raised the idea of double transfer: "Paid £70 for this I better see that used to sign Sane and Paqueta."

Amid the north London outfit's rather public pursuit of Raphinha - prior to him sealing a move to Barcelona - it may indicate that Arteta wants to bolster his options and bring in cover as well as competition for Bukayo Saka, Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli on the flanks.

And according to reports, Arsenal have held an interest in Leroy Sane. It remains to be seen if there are any plans to appease the aforementioned supporters by making a move for the Germany international before deadline day, but any potential deal could be straightforward as Bayern Munich transfer expert Georg Holzner has revealed the club are expected to sell some of their "well-known" players during this summer.
