On Friday (23), Chelsea winger Staanen's name appeared on the list of participants in the Premier League and the European Union League, however, his jersey number is a mystery. The club officially announced that new striker Bertounitou has changed his shirt number from 19 to 7, while Staanen, who has the number 7 shirt, has not been given a new number. I can't help but speculate that this month might be a good time for him to leave the team.

Having made his debut as a substitute in the Premier League clash with Manchester City wearing the No. 19 jersey, Berdunitu is now a rising star at No. 7. The British media have speculated that Chelsea should perhaps leave the No. 7 jersey empty to give back to the fans who bought the 24-year-old Portuguese international's No. 19 shirt. As for the other new signing, Zuofelix, who wears the No. 14 jersey, while Chelsea's No. 9 jersey remains in a vacuum, there has been much speculation as to whether Chelsea will be bringing in a goal scorer.

Staanen, Dulio Chalobah, and Anzu Luigabile, three players who also did not receive jersey numbers, appear to have their departures seemingly on the cards.
