Arsenal have unveiled their official squad photograph for the 2023/24 season that includes one surprising addition - a female chocolate Labrador called Win.

The men's first team players gathered for the traditional annual shot at Arsenal's London Colney training ground on Monday and were pictured alongside the Community Shield, which they won following a penalty shootout victory over Man City last month.

While new summer signings Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber joined David Raya, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard in the squad photo for the first time, all eyes were on Win - Arsenal's training ground dog - who sat next to club captain Martin Odegaard.

Last season Mikel Arteta told The Times how the Labrador was brought in to improve morale.

He later told a press conference: "I feel like we are a family and we need a dog to represent that family.

"I carefully chose the dog and in my opinion it’s the perfect representative of who we are right now," he said. "Her name is Win, we all love winning and Win needs a lot of love. So the love for Win, that was basically the feeling.

"The reaction from the players and the staff has been incredible, she is one of us. She is going to be on this journey with us together. Win needs accountability from us because we have to look after her as well, her emotions and what she needs."
