Everton has unveiled the new recruit numbers Fabian Delph and André Gomes.
Delph, who arrived from Manchester City on Monday night for a first £ 8.5m, will wear the No.8 t-shirt.
Meanwhile, the former Barcelona midfielder, Gomes, who donned the eight for the Blues during his impressive loan episode, will now represent the No.21.
Many fans are shocked to see that the Portuguese international, who has completed his transfer to Goodison Park, will not carry the number he occupied last season.

But speaking to Everton's official website, the 25-year-old explained: "Number 21 is a special issue for me.
"When I left Benfica, I took it to Valencia and it was my first experience outside of Portugal.It was a big change for me and all the members of my family. know this personal meaning.
"I also had the same number in Barcelona, so for four years in two different clubs.
"I like the number a lot, I wanted to keep it and I'm now looking forward to having it on the back of my Everton shirt."
