Chelsea star Cole Palmer is all set to don a new shirt number for the next Premier League season.
The Englishman is set to wear the number 10 shirt for the upcoming season after spending two years with number 20 on his back.
The number 10 shirt at Chelsea was previously worn by Mykhailo Mudryk, a player who is yet to feature in 2025 due to a provisional suspension.
Palmer’s switch to the shirt number could be the biggest sign yet that Chelsea are not expecting a return for the Ukraine international in the immediate future.
Given how crucial the England international has proven to be for the Blues, it was only a matter of time before he was handed a more iconic number to represent that.
