Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023 and has impressed in the No. 20 shirt over two seasons. Scoring 40 goals in 91 games in all competitions. And now it’s time to change the number to suit his new role as No. 10.
The previous No.10 shirt holder, Mykhailo Mudryk, still faces an uncertain future. After testing positive for a banned substance and being temporarily suspended by the Football Association. Meaning Chelsea will not hand the Ukrainian midfielder his number next season.
New centre-forward Delap, who just moved from Ipswich Town has been handed the unlucky number 9 shirt. As several other centre-forwards have failed to succeed in wearing it. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the last to wear it in the 2022-23 season.
Palmer will debut in the No. 10 shirt, along with Delap in the No. 9 shirt, in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Where they will play their first group game against Los Angeles FC of the United States on June 16.
