The 26-year-old won the PFA Young Player of the Year for two consecutive seasons (2015-16, 2016-17) while playing for Tottenham Hotspur. He also played a crucial role in the Lilywhites' run to the Champions League final in the 2018-19 season. He scored 66 goals and provided 60 assists in 268 matches for Tottenham. However, Alli lost his place in the first-team under Jose Mourinho's tenure as manager in the 2020-21 season. He struggled for games following a major dip in form. The Englishman became surplus to requirements at Spurs and was sold to Everton in the January 2022 window.

However, the Turkish striker was sold to Besiktas this summer, making the number available for the former Spurs midfielder. #3 Aaron Ramsdale Chelsea v Arsenal - Florida Cup England shot-stopper Aaron Ramsdale was impressive in his first season (2021-22) at the Emirates. The 24-year-old joined the Gunners from Sheffield United last summer and went ahead to claim the first-team spot. He displaced Bernd Leno to become Mikel Arteta's first-choice goalkeeper. His terrific performances between the sticks won vital points for Arsenal last term. Ramsdale made 90 saves and kept 12 clean sheets in 34 Premier League appearances for the north London club.

The Portuguese playmaker was handed the No. 8 jersey following Juan Mata's exit from the club this summer after the expiration of his contract. Fernandes previously wore jersey No. 18 for the Red Devils, but will now wear the ideal number for his position. He will be looking towards improving his performances from last season under new manager Erik Ten Hag.
