In preparation for the upcoming Premier League season, Chelsea Football Club has announced a reshuffling of squad numbers, reflecting both the team’s recent acquisitions and departures. With significant changes to the roster, fans can expect to see some familiar faces sporting new digits on the pitch.
Among the notable changes, Christopher Nkunku will be donning the No.18 jersey, while Nicolas Jackson has been assigned the No.15 shirt. These changes come as the club responds to a series of departures, including key figures such as Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz, and N’Golo Kante. This shakeup has left several high-profile numbers available for reassignment.
Benoit Badiashile takes over the No.5 shirt, succeeding Enzo Fernandez, who now proudly sports the No.8 jersey following Kovacic’s move to Manchester City. Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke have secured the No.10 and No.11 shirts, previously worn by Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner, respectively. Armando Broja, having moved from No.18 to No.19, allows Nkunku to take on his former number.
Of particular interest is the status of Moises Caicedo, whose No.25 shirt from his time at Brighton remains unassigned within Chelsea’s new lineup. This has sparked speculation among fans about potential transfers or new signings.
The unveiling of these fresh squad numbers provides a glimpse into Chelsea’s evolving roster as they gear up for another thrilling Premier League campaign. With a mix of established stars and rising talents, the club is poised to make its mark in the upcoming season.
