Tottenham have confirmed what shirt numbers their new signings will wear ahead of their first pre-season friendly of the summer. Taking on Team K League on Wednesday at Seoul World Cup Stadium, Antonio Conte's men face further games against Sevilla, Rangers and Roma prior to the new campaign.
Spurs have been very busy over the course of the summer, bringing Fraser Forster, Clement Lenglet, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison to the club. Tottenham did last week confirm Richarlison's squad number following his big-money move from Everton, with the Brazilian taking on the famous No.9.
The Lilywhites have now revealed numbers for three of their four other summer signings, with Lenglet's shirt number to be confirmed in due course. First up, Forster will take on the No.20 shirt that was previously worn by Dele Alli for the new campaign.

Perisic and Bissouma, who both miss today's friendly, will wear 22 and 38 respectively, although Spurs have stressed on their official website that "the numbers worn by these two players during pre-season may not be representative of their finalised squad numbers for 2022/23". Perisic has tended to wear No.14 or No.44 over the course of his successful career but Joe Rodon and Dane Scarlett are the owners of those numbers at present.
As an exit for Rodon could be in the pipeline and also a loan deal for Scarlett, Perisic could choose one of the two numbers if they become available. In the case of Bissouma, he may well be waiting for the No.8 shirt as Harry Winks, who has been left out of the club's pre-season tour of South Korea, looks on course to exit the club before the transfer deadline.
A shirt number has also been confirmed for Pape Matar Sarr after he linked up with Spurs for the first time after spending last campaign on loan with former club Metz. The Senegal international takes on the No.29 jersey.
Tottenham did confirm two other notable changes to their squad numbers last weekend as Cristian Romero will now wear his favoured No.17 shirt instead of No.4. The Argentine's previous number wasn't vacant for longer, however, as Oliver Skipp inherits the number after a breakout season in the Premier League.
The club have stated that all other squad numbers for existing players remain subject to change and a full finalised list will be confirmed when they submit their final squad list to the Premier League prior to the opening weekend of the 2022/23 season.
