Players numbers on shirts.

I'm too obsessed with player numbers and this looks so wrong ?. 4 and 5 are supposed to be central defenders numbers and 6 should be for defensive midfielder.

Nope - in England 4 is defensive midfielder and 5 and 6 are centre backs.

Sometimes 6 and 4 swap, but what I’ve said above is the traditional system.

So therefore Skipp is correct but PEH wearing 5 still also makes me shudder a bit!

Its a hang over from the old WM system:

Further squad numbers confirmed | Tottenham Hotspur

Following last week’s initial update on our men’s first team squad numbers, we can now confirm some additional allocations ahead of the forthcoming season.

More numbers confirmed.

I think Spence may have worn 24 previously in his career, although personally I would have switch Rodon to 24 rather than 22 (14 to 24 just seems neater) and given Spence 22.

But hey ho.

Perisic had 14 confirmed and Leglet 34, so only Bissouma to be confirmed now, presumably waiting to see if 8 becomes available.

Bissouma is pretty much guaranteed 8 then.

Just needs Winks to move on.
