Chelsea keep the No. 9 shirt vacant amid ties with Osimhen.

Chelsea have kept the No. 9 shirt empty this summer amid speculation about Victor Osimhen.

The Premier League team has confirmed new shirt numbers for a few players.

Joao Felix, another new addition, was given the No.14 shirt, which was previously worn by Trevor Chalobah.
