Three new numbers have been allocated to members of the squad following the January transfer window, and head coach Graham Potter has confirmed that the Argentinian will link up with his teammates at the start of next week ahead of the next Premier League game against Sheffield United on February 22nd.
Defender Tariq Lamptey, who also arrived at the club on the final day of last month, will wear the number two shirt previously worn by former club captain and now player development coach Bruno.
It means the young England international will follow in the footsteps of El Capitan when he pulls on a blue and white shirt for the first time following his deadline day move from Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Beram Kayal will take the number 25 jersey for the rest of the campaign after being recalled from his loan spell at Charlton Athletic.
😄 "Fun, energetic, and a winner!"
