Tottenham Hotspur tweak squad numbers list after world-record transfer

Spurs reveal list of squad numbers for 2017-18 season.

Tottenham Hotspur finalised their list of squad numbers ahead of the big Premier League kickoff this week.

One significant tweak saw right-back Kieran Trippier move up from no.16 to no.2.

Trippier’s promotion comes after Tottenham sold their previous no.2, Kyle Walker, to Manchester City earlier this summer.

Walker broke a world record when he swapped Spurs for City as his transfer fee of £50m, plus £3m in add-ons, made him the most expensive defender ever, according to The Express.

The rest of Tottenham’s squad numbers remain the same as last season, which is mainly down to the fact that they are yet to sign anyone this summer.

Notable numbers that remain unassigned include no.6 and no.8.

No.6 was vacated when Nabil Bentaleb completed his move to Schalke, while no.8 has been unworn since Ryan Mason left White Hart Lane for Hull City 12 months ago.
