Squad Numbers Announced
Wednesday, 19th Aug 2026 16:20

Town have confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026/27 Premier League season.

New signings Issa Diop and Abdul Fatawu have been handed six and Wes Burns’s number seven respectively with Julio Enciso the number 10.

Florentino Luis gets 12, Emersonn 19, Sasa Lukic 23, Kayne van Oevelen, who is set to join Valencia on loan, 31, Kjell Scherpen 37, Daizen Maeda 38 and Abdoul Ouattara 42.

George Hirst, who is set to join Stoke, isn’t given a number, his nine having been left vacant, but Ben Johnson, who is expected to move to the Potters on loan, keeps his 18.

Ali Al-Hamadi is also left off the list with the Iraq international also expected to move on, a switch to Polish side Raków Częstochowa having broken down following his medical.

Darnell Furlong moves from 19 to number two having signed after numbers were allocated last summer, Harry Clarke the previous owner of that shirt.

Veteran keeper David Button is given 27, perhaps indicating he will play some part with the first team, most likely in cups.

Alex Palmer keeps the number one shirt, despite looking like being the third-choice keeper or moving on.

Emmerson could have taken 9 so perhaps there's space for one more

I honestly think we have another 6 at least to come in...

Embolo, Jumah Bah and Palacios...

We now need another full back with Johnson gone and I am pretty sure we will see Taylor, Ogbene, Palmer go.

and I think if the club feel they can upgrade any of the following: Macateer, Mehmeti, Clarke, Philogene, Akpom, Kipre - why wouldn't they?

I think they'd even let Matusiwa fgo if he could be upgraded.

Lets say the final 6 are: Embolo, Jumah Bah, Palacios, Ueda, Musah and a new full-back.

Or am I just playing Football Manager?

No no9 feels very much like last season when we were waiting for Cajuste to put pen to paper and squad numbers got released with no no12. Very telling that something is happening in the background. Also interested that Johnson has a number but Hirst doesn't, maybe GH deal a lot further along than BJs?

Scot been Ben Johnsen is a loan if I recall correctly. I imagine there would be a recall clause.

There is 30 players on that list, so it has to be trimmed as 2 are U21's.
Scotblue2, Hirst is a permanent transfer, Johnson is a loan with possible recall in January.

No way Hirst moves ahead of the weekend without a 9 coming. I like Ueda but I think Embolo more likely.

Palacios wears 25 at Bayer Leverkusen, so I suspect he will get that number once he's here..... just a thought :)

I can't help feeling Delap would really flourish in this team. Bring him home and put 20 goals as a target for him 26/27.

Ahh, thanks Aduja and MarketKop, wasn't aware BJ was just a loan.

Embolo - 9, Palacios - 25, Bah (hopefully) - 15

Superblues9. Wjy do you think some moan about Delap? With the 2nd half of the season here and the whole season at Chelsea, he scored 2,goals. More cards than goals, or assists. He literally downed tools in the 2nd half of that season bcse he knew he was leaving.

Does this mean 22 players won't play as you have to name final 25

Bazza8564 Hurstcwill be gone before the weekend. Having medical today, and there's no way Stike would agree to him possibly playing jere on saturday, and taking the chance of him being injured. Don't forget, Maeda can play in the middle, as can Encisco, so we have enough cover for saturday.
