Chelsea have revealed the shirt number that Joao Felix will wear during his loan spell at Stamford Bridge. The 23 year-old striker will wear the number 11 shirt, the same he wears for Portugal. Chelsea said that the number 7 he wore at Atletico Madrid was already taken by N'Golo Kante.
Joao Felix is now a Chelsea player. Atletico Madrid made the Portuguese player's loan deal official until the end of the season. This will be his first experience in the Premier League.
Via their official website, Atletico revealed the shirt number the 23 year-old Portuguese striker will wear at Chelsea. He will wear the number 11.
"The Portuguese striker, who will wear the same number as for his country, has been signed on loan from Atletico Madrid and will join the Blues immediately," Chelsea said in a brief statement.
"The 23 year-old wore the number 7 shirt for Diego Simeone's side in Spain, but, given that this is currently occupied by N'Golo Kante, he has decided to wear the vacant number 11 shirt."
