Liverpool announce shirt numbers of all summer signings, drop Isak hint
Liverpool are preparing to defend the Premier League title they won last season with the club bringing in fresh legs to strengthen Arne Slot’s team.
Having welcome seven new faces to the squad this summer, the Reds have officially confirmed their squad numbers ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The Reds have spent £269m on transfers, with Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, and Armin Pecsi having joined. Freddie Woodman and Giorgi Mamardashvili also arrived and will now provide back up to Alisson.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz are the biggest names to leave the club this summer.
On Friday morning, Liverpool confirmed their squad numbers for the 2025/26 campaign.
Liverpool wrote in a statement: “Liverpool’s squad numbers for the 2025-26 season have been confirmed.
“The seven arrivals to the club this summer have selected their numbers, while Conor Bradley and Trey Nyoni have opted to change.
“Florian Wirtz has taken the No.7 shirt, made vacant by the departure of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
“Milos Kerkez is the Reds’ new No.6 and Jeremie Frimpong has chosen No.30, the number he had at previous club Bayer Leverkusen. Hugo Ekitike will wear the No.22 jersey.
“In the goalkeeping department, Giorgi Mamardashvili is No.25, Freddie Woodman No.28 and Armin Pecsi No.41.
“Meanwhile, Bradley has switched from No.84 to No.12 and Nyoni from No.98 to No.42.”
Liverpool are still linked with Newcastle United’s forward Alexander Isak and reports have claimed talks are progressing well.
If Isak was to join the Reds, Federico Chiesa who currently wear his favoured number 14 jersey may have to find another number or move on from the club.
Meanwhile, if Isak prefers 19, Harvey Elliott may be forced to give up his squad number. He, too, has been linked with a potential move from Anfield this summer.
