N'Golo Kante's Chelsea Squad Number Confirmed
Posted Tuesday, July 26, 2016 by thesportbible.com
After plenty of speculation surrounding squad numbers, Chelsea have announced that N'Golo Kante will wear the number seven jersey this season.
Rumours spread yesterday that Riyad Mahrez would wear No.7 after Adidas had 'accidentally' revealed that Mahrez would join Chelsea, but many played down reports.
Here is the original Twitter post that got everyone talking:
The speculation has well and truly been quashed today after Chelsea revealed that Kante would wear the number seven, previously worn by Ramires, who now plies his trade in the Chinese Super League.
Here's the evidence from Chelsea's official website:
Riyad Mahrez will certainly not wear the number seven shirt. Whether he will join Conte's Chelsea side is yet to be known.
Kante completed his £32million transfer from Premier League champions Leicester City earlier this month, with the Foxes making £27.2 million profit.
Not bad.
