With the new season only days away from start, Chelsea Football Club have announced the players squad numbers.

Young Midfielders Andrey Santos and Lesley Ogochukwu have taken numbers 20 and 16 respectively, while Malo Gusto, who joined the club from Lyon will wear 27.
Having returned from loan, Levi Colwill has taken John Terry’s iconic number 26 and will hope to replicate the legend.
