Today, Mikel Arteta and the first-team squad assembled at the Sobha Realty Training Centre for their annual squad photo for the 2024/25 season.
The manager and players lined up for the traditional group shot, which featured new arrivals Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, Neto, Raheem Sterling, and Tommy Setford, along with academy prospects Ethan Nwaneri, Lewis Myles-Skelly, and Ayden Heaven.
Stuart MacFarlane was, as always, behind the camera, orchestrating the setup for the crucial photograph. The final image can be viewed below. Additionally, a behind-the-scenes look at the photo session will be featured as a poster in our matchday programme for next week’s game against Bolton Wanderers.
