REVEALED: Chelsea unveil Alvaro Morata shirt number

Chelsea have unveiled Alvaro Morata's shirt number.

Morata will wear the no.9 shirt for Chelsea after completing his club-record move from Real Madrid.

The striker takes the shirt number vacant since Radamel Falcao's disappointing loan spell from Monaco during the 2015-16 season.

Morata last wore the no.9 shirt during his two-year stint with Juventus, before taking up the no.21 shirt at Real Madrid after his buy-back clause was triggered.
