Vicario Missing as Tottenham Reveal Their 2026-27 Shirt Numbers

Tottenham have confirmed their registered Premier League squad numbers for 2026-27, and the list settles a few questions while raising others. The club’s official announcement, published on 20 August, lists 30 players including all six summer arrivals ahead of the season opener against Brentford.

Vicario’s number, and who didn’t take it

The most notable absence from the official list is Guglielmo Vicario, who no longer appears among the registered numbers, unlike a July report from GiveMeSport that had him retaining the No.1 shirt. That earlier piece was written before the confirmed list was published, and things have clearly moved on since.

With the No.1 vacated, Antonin Kinsky was the obvious candidate to inherit it. He didn’t. Per Tottenham’s official confirmation, Kinsky has stuck with No.31, the number he already wore.

Robertson, Moore, and the numbers still floating

Andy Robertson takes No.3 rather than the No.26 he wore at Liverpool, a deliberate choice out of respect for Ledley King, as previously reported and confirmed by the official list. Mikey Moore, meanwhile, has been handed No.47 despite question marks over his loan situation this summer, while Min-hyeok Yang doesn’t appear on the confirmed list at all.

The rest of the numbering broadly lines up with what had been expected once De Zerbi’s rebuilt squad took shape, and this list should now be treated as the definitive version for the season. Anyone still working off the earlier July breakdown should update accordingly, particularly around the goalkeeping situation and Moore’s status.

For the fuller picture of how this squad has been assembled, Tottenham’s summer rebuild under De Zerbi and the team news ahead of Brentford both offer useful context on where these numbers actually fit into his plans.
