Tottenham Hotspur unveiled the jersey numbers for the upcoming season, providing insights into the squad composition. Despite speculation about his departure, Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor retains the number 10, a jersey he has held since his loan to the club in 2011. While Adebayor enjoyed a prolific season that year with 14 goals in the Premier League, his performance last year led to rumors of a potential departure.
Gareth Bale, amidst persistent transfer rumors to Real Madrid, is set to stay at Tottenham according to the club’s owner. He will continue wearing the number 11 jersey. Among the new recruits, Spanish striker Roberto Soldado will don the number 9, Belgian Nacer Chadli the 21, French midfielder Etienne Capoue the 15, and Brazilian midfielder Paulinho will wear the number 8.
In terms of changes, Englishman Kyle Walker switches from 22 to 2, while Cameroonian defender Benoît Assou-Ekotto retains his number 32. The jersey numbers offer a glimpse into the squad makeup for the upcoming season.
