The Chelsea shirt numbers available to Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner

Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner

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.

Although neither have been allocated a squad number just yet and it could be a case of waiting until the season ends before the matter is addressed.

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.


But what shirt numbers are available to the duo right now?

Below, we take a look to see what numbers are currently free at Stamford Bridge.

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.14
The No.14 is also currently up for grabs with Tiemoue Bakayoko spending the season on loan at AS Monaco.



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.21
Davide Zappacosta's loan move to AS Roma has been disrupted by injury, but his squad number at the Bridge is currently vacant.

No.25
Although the No.25 shirt has not been officially retired by the club, it seems that Chelsea do not want anyone to take on Gianfranco Zola's famous number.

Departing for his home country back in 2003, nobody at the club has worn the shirt since the Italian maestro departed over a decade ago.

No.26
As is the case with the No.25 shirt, John Terry's No.26 may well be left vacant following his trophy-laden spell at Stamford Bridge.


No.27
Andreas Christensen's move to the no.4 has left the no.27 vacant.

No.30

This became vacant when David Luiz joined Arsenal in the summer.

It's a squad number that has been worn by the likes of Yossi Benayoun, Tiago and Jesper Gronjkaer in the past.

No.32
The No.32 shirt has been vacant following Marco Amelia's departure in 2016.

Andreas Christensen, the club's current No.4, had worn the number during the 2012/13 season.
