The first transfer window of the summer is open and when Tottenham do start to make their moves the new signings will find plenty of shirt numbers available.
Spurs will be able to get going in the market once their managerial situation becomes clearer and it's certain whether Johan Lange will be looking to sign players for Ange Postecoglou or yet another new head coach at the helm of the north London club. Tottenham have been linked to various players from Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace to Tyler Dibling at Southampton and many others across Europe.
They also have a new face already confirmed to be arriving at the club this summer in the shape of centre-back Luka Vuskovic with the deal for the young Croatian agreed two years ago but he could not move until he turned 18.
With potential new players in mind, it's worth taking a look at the shirt numbers currently available for those who end up coming in through the door at Spurs and also the ones that could potentially be freed up.
For incoming defenders, the numbers two and three are available, after Sergio Reguilon left the club and the latter behind. For a centre-back or defensive midfielder, the number five is also free right now as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's move to Marseille is set to go through permanently.
Those are the last of the traditional one to 11 numbers currently available, although Mathys Tel's number 11 could enter the conversation if Tottenham cannot come to an agreement over the return of the Frenchman for an extended stay from Bayern Munich this summer.
After those traditional numbers, then you've got 12 and 16, after Timo Werner left the latter behind, as well as 20 after Fraser Forster's exit. Then 25 and 26 are both free right now while Manor Solomon's 27 could also become available should he leave after his loan season at Leeds.
Eze wears the number 10 for Palace but also used to wear the number 25, Guehi wears six which is currently Radu Dragusin's shirt number, while Dibling wears 33 at Southampton which is Ben Davies' number at Spurs.
Either of the goalkeepers Antonin Kinsky and Brandon Austin could potentially move up their numbers unless they are happy with their 31 and 40 respectively. Between those two keepers, the numbers 32, 34, 38 and 39 are available while Ashley Phillips and Alejo Veliz had 35 and 36 before they went to Stoke and Espanyol on loan respectively and those may become available depending on those two young players' futures.
Vuskovic faces an issue currently with his usual shirt number as he has worn the number 44 in four of the past five seasons, including on loan at Westerlo, while he wore the number four on loan at Radomiak Radom the previous season. Kevin Danso wears the number four shirt at Spurs while young striker Dane Scarlett has the number 44.
Either Scarlett hands over that number and moves up the order - or he could head out on loan - or Vuskovic will have to choose a new number. The teenager did wear the number five at times for Hajduk Split's U19s but whether such a young player would get a number that high up the pecking order remains to be seen.
Whether other players change numbers also remains to be seen, for some like Micky van de Ven have a personal connection to theirs. Mikey Moore could move up from 47 while Dominic Solanke would no doubt like to switch to the number nine, which he has worn at various points throughout his career including for much of his time at Bournemouth, but Richarlison, as Brazil's number nine over recent years, will probably hold that number until he departs the club.
All eyes are on what numbers are taken by the new Tottenham faces and which ones become free as the weeks go on in the transfer window.
