Cristian Romero's seven word admission explains his Tottenham shirt number change

Cristian Romero became one of two players who Tottenham announced had changed their shirt numbers for the 2022/23 season. Oliver Skipp played in the number 29 in the last campaign, but with Argentine changing numbers, it gave the 21-year-old the chance to take it over.

Richarlison made the move to Spurs, in a £60million deal and has taken the number nine shirt. Ivan Perisic is yet to secure a shirt number, with the Croatian believed to be waiting to see if either the number 44 or 14 shirts become available, with exits of either Dane Scarlett or Joe Rodon.

In a video on Tottenham's new streaming service, Spurs Play, Skipp explained his thoughts on his new number, "It's a number that I wore quite a bit in the academy, so it's nice," he said.
