Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has followed Alisson Becker in changing his squad number this summer.
The Reds midfielder will move from number 21 to number 15 for the 2019/20 season.
It is the jersey number last worn by the departing Daniel Sturridge and before that by Jamie Redknapp, Patrik Berger, Peter Crouch, Salif Diao and Yossi Benayoun.
It was previously revealed that goalkeeper Alisson will move from his temporary number of 13 to become the Reds’ official number 1.
News of Oxlade-Chamberlain’s new number comes the day before Liverpool officially unveil their new away kit for 2019/20, which will be unveiled on Friday morning, along with new training kit.
Meanwhile, Fabinho should also get a new number this summer, with the Brazilian midfielder temporarily assigned number 3 upon his signing last summer.
Fabinho is likely to take number 2 shirt once Nathaniel Clyne leaves.
Others who could change numbers this summer include Andy Robertson, as he could take the number 3 shirt once Fabinho‘s is determined.
