Newcastle United squad numbers available to both Nick Pope and Sven Botman

With the announcement of Nick Pope arrival at Newcastle United now out of the way, many Magpies fans will be curious to know which number he will wear heading into next season.

The England international has worn a whole host of different digits during his career, with the number one spot he held at Burnley currently available.

Therefore we now know he will sport an entirely separate shirt number as Martin Dubravka looks to remain as Eddie Howe's go-to choice.

Pope did however also wear the number 29 at Turf Moor, prior to his switch to number 1, which is currently occupied by Mark Gillespie.

A further option for the 30-year-old is the number 30. That’s the number he wore during his time with Charlton Athletic. That shirt is currently vacant and has been ever since Christian Atsu left the club.

As for Sven Botman, his choice of number is somewhat limited, with the lowest available at present 14, with it likely Matt Targett will retain his favoured number 13 we saw last season.

22, 25 and 27 are all available too from the Netherland Under 21 international, with his previous 4 and 5 he held at Lille currently taken by both Matty Longstaff and Fabian Schar.
