Meanwhile, there are few shirt numbers available in the Chelsea first 11, but that might be an issue for Cucurella, who has worn the number 3 since joining Brighton in the 21/22 season.

Currently, number 3 is occupied by Marcos Alonso, who has been linked with Barcelona move in recent weeks.

The Spaniard has worn number 15 in Getafe, but it was taken by Connar Callagher, who returned from loan this summer.

Cucurella could take numbers 2 or 4, which are available after Antonio Rudiger’s and Andreas Christensen’s departure.
