Moving forwards, the central midfielder will wear the number eight jersey, switching from his previous number 22 shirt, which he had worn since arriving from Atletico Madrid in January.
“It’s an honour to wear the number eight shirt,” Conor said.
“I’ve never actually worn it at club level in my career, so I’m excited – it’s always been my favourite number. Some of my favourite footballers growing up also wore eight, so I’m looking forward to pulling on the jersey for this fantastic club. I’m hoping for a big season and to make our fans proud.”
The number eight shirt had become vacant following Yves Bissouma’s departure from the club this summer.
Supporters are reminded that, aside from Conor and new signing Marcos Senesi, who has been confirmed to wear number five, squad numbers for all players remain subject to change, with the full finalised list to be confirmed when the club submits its final squad list to the Premier League prior to the opening weekend of the 2026/27 season. Supporters who have purchased our newly-released 2026/27 Home and Away kits from the official Spurs Shop website with Gallagher 22 personalisation since Friday morning’s launch will see their orders processed with Conor’s new squad number.
