Willian Handed Eden Hazard Former Chelsea Number
Willaim has been handed Eden Hazard former Chelsea number 10 jersey ahead of the 2019-20 season.
The 30-year-old Brazil international had worn the No.22 jersey ever since he joined the Blues in 2013 but has now swapped it for one that has been associated with Belgium skipper for the last five years until his €100 million (£91m/$111m) move to the dethroned UEFA Champions League winner Real Madrid. Willian relinquishes the ’22’, a number he has worn at Stamford Bridge for five years to summer arrival Christian Pulisic, who also wore the same number at Borussia Dortmund. Callum Hudson-Odoi, whose representatives had asked for the number ’10’ during contract negotiations, keeps the number ’20’ jersey.
Chelsea begin their Premier League campaign next Sunday when they visit Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
