Dele Alli handed new Everton shirt number

Attacking midfielder Dele Alli has been given a new Everton squad number this season.

The 27-year-old is back with Sean Dyche's side after a tough loan spell at Besiktas in Turkey.

The attacker is currently recovering from injury, but hopes that he will play an important role in the club's season.

Alli had the no.36 shirt with the Toffees before he went out on loan, showing he was an afterthought.

However, he now has the no.20 shirt that he will wear when he plays this term.

Many believe that is a sign that he will be heavily involved when he is fully fit and match sharp.
