Chelsea new boys Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling have now been handed their shirt numbers. There will be plenty of upheaval at Chelsea this summer, with big-name outgoings and signings expected in equal measure.
Defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have both headed for pastures new at the end of their respective contracts, while Romelu Lukaku has sealed a sensational return to Inter on a season-long loan. Freeing up the cursed number nine shirt. Loaneer Saul Niguez has also headed back to Atletico Madrid following a largely unsuccessful spell in west London.
Inevitably, that means there is going to be a big shakeup when it comes to squad numbers as some are free up and others are taken. Tuchel has admitted he needs to “rebuild” his squad this summer, following a difficult season and the loss of some key players: “We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge.”
Raheem Sterling will be wearing the number 17 jersey next season, as he aims to be one of Chelsea’s best players in all competitions. Kalidou Koulibaly will be wearing the number 26 jersey, which was last worn by John Terry. Conor Gallagher will be wearing the number 23 jersey next season.
