Chelsea new signing Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner are officially now Chelsea players.
The Morocco international’s €40m (£33.4m) move from Ajax which could potentially increase to a maximum of €44m was agreed shortly after the January transfer window closed.
Meanwhile, the Blues won the race for Werner ahead of Liverpool and Manchester United by triggering the£47.5m release clause in his contract at RB Leipzig. Both deals went through on July 1, 2020 and they can begin training with their new teammates.
This is because Werner – who wore no.11 for Leipzig – could be waiting for Pedro to complete his move to Roma and Ziyech might be waiting for Willian to vacate the no.10 shirt. Below are shirt numbers that are available to the duo right now?
No.6: The current owner of this shirt number technically is Danny Drinkwater who spent the first half of the season on loan at Burnley. He returned to west London in January, although he was sent to Aston Villa in another loan deal.
No.10: Eden Hazard has now gone. The player was out of contract at the end of the 2019/2020 season and since completed his move to Real Madrid following over a year of speculation regarding his future.
No.15: Currently, vacant following Victor Moses’ loan move to Fenerbahce at the start of 2019. The Nigerian has since moved to Inter Milan for the remainder of the season and could earn a permanent contract with the Serie A giants should he impress.
No.16: No.16 could be a potential option for a new signing with Kenedy out on loan once again.
No.11: The No 11 will be avaliable has Pedro has signed 2 years contract with Roma.
