Which Arsenal players are the tallest? Here, we take a look at the tallest Arsenal players in the current squad.
Arsenal have a lot of tall sturdy figures in the senior side. So which Arsenal players are the tallest among them all?
Height is no longer as appreciated in world football as it was in the olden days. With the game becoming more technical, a level of skill in all aspects will give him more notoriety than his height.
However, it is still a very important factor for defenders and goalkeepers. A player’s length gives him/her a significant advantage in aerial duels. Teams usually prefer tall centre-backs and goalkeepers in order to stop the opposing team from scoring. Traditional strikers who like to play as a sole target man up front is highly dependent on his height.
Of course, there are exceptions in midfield like former Manchester United star Paul Pogba who towers over all at 6 feet 3 inches and then proceeds to dribble past you like Andres Iniesta.

So here we look at Arsenal players heights for 2023 Which five Arsenal players are the tallest?

Players like Dejan Liev and Zech Medley are next in the line of tall players but they have not yet been promoted to the senior side. Hence, their names will be excluded as well.
With a height of 1.90m, Takehiro Tomiyasu takes the fifth spot in the list of tallest Arsenal players. We usually see tall goalkeepers in big teams but we have a right-back in this list. He jointly takes fifth spot with Declan Rice who also has same height.
The Japan international is a first-choice defender for Arsenal and appeared in all matches of the Premier League last season. He wasn’t considered much this season. Arteta has enough options in the backline as Timber is also fit now after a long injury last season. Watch & Bet Football Here =>
Jakub Kiwior is not the regular player for Arsenal but he could be a future prospect for Arteta. Arsenal boss considers Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhães as two prime choices for goalkeepers. William Saliba is also his regular option.
Jakub Kiwior is the joint-tallest Arsenal player with a height of 1.93 m. He was signed by the Gunners in the winter of 2023. He didn’t find his place in the XI in his first season.
Gabriel, one of the most intriguing players of his age, demonstrated his immense potential once again last season. The Brazilian, who can play as a striker or wide on the left, returned from a knee injury in December and resumed up where he left off.
‘Gabi’ (full name Gabriel Teodoro Martinelli Silva) scored in our Premier League victories over Sheffield United and Crystal Palace. He is a great finisher with an unwavering work ethic.
This is his fifth season at the club, having burst into the scene in 2019/20 after joining from Brazilian side Ituano. A Brazil young international who has been capped at the under-23 level, his debut season in England was highlighted by a spectacular solo goal in a 2-2 Premier League tie away from home.
Another defender from Arsenal makes in the list of the tallest Arsenal players. William Saliba has turned out to be one of the most crucial players helping Arsenal finish second in the league last season.
He signed a new contract with Arsenal earlier this month that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2027. With Gabriel Magalhaes, Saliba has formed a formidable partnership at the heart of defence which Mikel Arteta has described as a ‘happy marriage’. He could establish himself as one the most coveted defenders in the game.
The German playmaker moved to the Emirates after Arsenal spent over £65million for his services. He went through a difficult period early on in his Premier League career with Chelsea, struggling to find the back of the net on numerous occasions.
The 25-year-old is one of the best playmakers who is built like a modern player – athletic, relatively fast and has a decent touch of the ball. Watch & Bet Football Here =>
