Liverpool confirmed that the club’s new signings have been assigned temporary shirt numbers for Sunday’s pre-season friendly against Preston North End before their official digits are confirmed later this summer.
The Reds have been too busy in the transfer market for the kit department to keep up. Unlike other clubs who announce a new signing’s squad number upon their arrival, Liverpool have kept their powder dry in this regard.
The club’s hand could have been forced by their weekend trip to Deepdale—which may very well serve as the first opportunity for fans to get a glimpse of Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and their fellow recruits—but a temporary measure has been implemented.
