The 2015-16 Premier League season is just a few hours from kicking off.
Many players – not just new signings – will be wearing new squad numbers this term.
Here, we look at nine star men who have changed numbers, including Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United and Arsenal players…

Harry Kane – 18 to 10
Kane was Tottenham’s no.37 just two years ago. Strong form at the end of the 2013-14 season saw him promoted to no.18, before a stunning 2014-15 campaign resulted in him replacing Emmanuel Adebayor as no.10 at White Hart Lane. Adebayor has not been given a number this term.
Sergio Aguero – 16 to 10
Man City star Aguero, who was the Premier League’s top scorer last season, is too good to not have a 1-11 number – not that it stopped him bagging goals.
However, he has had to wait patiently for a new jersey. He was given no.10 this week, as Edin Dzeko’s departure from the Etihad Stadium moved closer.
Ryan Mason – 38 to 8
Like Tottenham teammate Kane, Mason has worked hard for his promotion. Will the pressure of first-team expectation help or hinder him though?
