Chelsea reveal Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta squad numbers for new season after landing duo in late deals
Blues spent a combined £58million on Leicester midfielder and Torino defender after missing out on a number of other aces
CHELSEA have revealed their new squad numbers for deadline day duo Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta.
Former Leicester midfielder Drinkwater will wear the No.6 shirt at Stamford Bridge.
While ex-Torino defender Zappacosta has been handed the No.21 jersey for the season.
The pair both joined Chelsea late yesterday evening for a combined £58million.
And they could have been joined by a few more players too, with Everton playmaker Ross Barkley pulling an outrageous U-turn DURING his Stamford Bridge medical.
Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain snubbed the Premier League champions in favour of a move to Liverpool.
While Tottenham pinched striker Fernando Llorente from Swansea right under Antonio Conte’s nose.
However, Drinkwater and Zappacosta should both prove to be good signings for Chelsea as they embark on their Champions League campaign, with both players excited to be along for the ride.
