Chelsea have officially confirmed that their new signing Alvaro Morata will be wearing the number nine shirt next season. The former Juventus star has just completed an € 80 million to South West London and Chelsea have just confirmed his squad number for the incoming campaign. Morata had already worn the number nine shirt during his two-year spell at Juventus but ‘was forced’ to pick up the number 21 at Real Madrid last season given that Karim Benzema has the shirt number 9 in the Spanish capital.
