The squad numbers assigned to our summer signings for the 2023/24 campaign
have been confirmed – and several existing players have taken new shirt
numbers ahead of the season.
Christopher Nkunku was the first new arrival at Stamford Bridge this summer
and the France international has taken the number 18 shirt. Fellow forward
Nicolas Jackson, who joined from Villarreal, will wear the number 15.
Defender Axel Disasi completed a switch from Monaco last week and has taken
the number 2 shirt. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, signed from Brighton, will be
our number 31.
Malo Gusto, who joined up with the squad this summer after a January move
from Lyon, has taken the number 27. Young midfielders Andrey Santos and
Lesley Ugochukwu will wear number 20 and number 16 respectively.
An array of squad numbers were vacated this summer after departures from
Stamford Bridge, and that has resulted in several players switching numbers
ahead of the new season.
World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez will now wear the number 8 shirt and Mykhailo
Mudryk has taken on the number 10.
Raheem Sterling is our latest number 7; the England international wore 17
last season following his move from Manchester City.
Noni Madueke has opted for the number 11 shirt ahead of the new campaign.
Marc Cucurella will wear 3; Benoit Badiashile 5; Carney Chukwuemeka 17; and
Armando Broja has switched to 19.
Levi Colwill, who last week signed a new six-year contract, has taken on the
number 26 shirt made famous at Chelsea by fellow Academy graduate John Terry.
Ian Maatsen has been incorporated into the first-team squad this summer and
impressed throughout pre-season. The versatile Dutchman will wear the number
29.
