Tottenham announce Sergio Reguilon's shirt number after left-back seals move from Real Madrid

It has been quite a day for Jose Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur.

Following the sensational return of Gareth Bale to the club after seven years away, the Lilywhites have also confirmed the signing of Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid.

It takes Tottenham's summer additions to five and Mourinho is not done just yet in the transfer market.

Reguilon's move to the club comes after a stunning season at loan at Sevilla as he helped the Spanish side lift the Europa League trophy with a win over Inter Milan.

Gareth Bale's brilliant welcome to Tottenham

With opportunities in the first team extremely hard to come by at the Santiago Bernabeu, the 23-year-old was sent on loan to Andalusia and he took his chance in the team with both hands as he chipped in with three goals and five assists in his 38 games.

His form sparked interest from both Chelsea and Manchester United, yet it was the Lilywhites who have won the race for his signature.

The arrival of a new signing always gets fans talking about the potential squad numbers they could take on.

Unable to select the No.23 shirt he wore for Sevilla last season as that belongs to Steven Bergwijn, the Spaniard will in fact wear No.3 during his time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

With a few fans tipping Bale to take on the number after previously wearing it during his first spell in north London, it is the left-back who will wear the jersey in 2020/21 after Danny Rose was stripped of the number last week.
