Figure a soccer manager has captured Tottenham's heart (5)

I believe the answer is:

seven

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'figure' is the definition.
(seven is a number)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for seven that I've seen before include "Cardinal" , "Prime number" , "equivalent of uproar [7D]" , "Number of colours of the rainbow" , "Number of sins, seas or dwarves" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
