Everton’s Andre Gomes has switched to the 21 shirt for the season ahead, after wearing the number eight last term.

Some Everton fans have been left disappointed after Andre Gomes picked the number 21 shirt, leaving Fabian Delph to be number eight.

Gomes wore the eight kit last season, and was expected to take his old shirt number back at Everton this term.

However, Gomes wanted to change number for the upcoming campaign.

And some Everton fans have been left disappointed by that move.

Gomes signed for Everton for £22 million (BBC Sport) from Barcelona this summer, after enjoying a successful loan at Goodison Park last term.

Gomes and Delph may well be Everton’s first choice midfield pairing for the upcoming campaign, with Idrissa Gueye’s future still in doubt, as the Telegraph have reported.

And Gomes certainly seemed happy about Delph’s arrival at Everton, as he welcomed the England international on Twitter yesterday.
