Loskov thumbs up as Lokomotiv take No10 shirt out of retirement for Chelsea loanee Anjorin

Lokomotiv Moscow have made a special gesture by handing Chelsea loanee Tino Anjorin their No10 shirt.

The Daily Star says Loko have un-retired their number 10 shirt in order to give it to new signing Anjorin after he joined on an initial loan from Chelsea on Thursday.

The 19-year-old will spend the season in Russia, with Lokomotiv having the option to make the deal permanent from January onwards for £17million.

Loko have given Anjorin their famous number 10 shirt after it was originally retired eight years ago following the end of club legend Dmitri Loskov's career in 2013.

Now assistant manager, Loskov presented Anjorin with his shirt after he was announced as a Lokomotiv player on Thursday.

Loskov is Lokomotiv's record appearance maker and goal scorer having bagged 128 goals in 421 appearances for the three-time Russian champions.
