New Tottenham signing Richarlison handed legendary number nine shirt as Antonio Conte continues to build his new-look side, with the Brazillian following in the footsteps of Gareth Bale, Jimmy Greaves and Dimitar Berbatov

New Tottenham signing Richarlison has been given the number nine shirt at the north London club.

The Brazil international joined for a club-record fee of £60million after leaving Everton and will now take on the shirt number that has remained vacant since Spurs legend Gareth Bale's loan stint in 2020-21.

Able to play across the front three, the 25-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will join up with the rest of the squad this week in preparation for a pre-season tour of South Korea.
