Tottenham Hotspur announced the signings of Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur on deadline day with the duo standing as the first arrivals since Antonio Conte took charge of the club.
Sweden international winger Kulusevski joins on an initial 18-month loan costing €10 million (£8.3m), while the move can be made permanent for €35 million (£29.2m) if specific objectives are met (The Guardian).
Bentancur meanwhile, links up with Spurs on a four-and-a-half-year deal costing €19 million with a further €6 million in potential add-ons.
The club has now confirmed the squad numbers for the former Juve duo, who arrive with an abundance of high-level experience in Italy (Spurs official Twitter).
Kulusevski has claimed the number 21 shirt in the footsteps of former Spurs players Niko Kranjcar, Federico Fazio and most recently Juan Foyth.
Bentancur will take the number 30 which was previously donned by Brazilian midfielder Sandro for five seasons and Gedson Fernandes during his brief stint in N17.

Tottenham were busy on deadline day and they had to be to conduct part of the squad’s refresh under Conte. Hopefully they will be able to settle in at the club quickly and get into a rhythm so they can make an impact straight away.
