EPL: ALEJANDRO GARNACHO HANDED NO.49 SHIRT AT CHELSEA

Chelsea have confirmed the squad number for new signing Alejandro Garnacho following his move from Manchester United.

The 21-year-old winger, who completed his switch to Stamford Bridge last Saturday, has been handed the No.49 shirt for the new Premier League season.

Garnacho was in attendance at Stamford Bridge last weekend to watch his new teammates secure a 2-0 win over Fulham, and he is now set to play his part in Chelsea’s campaign.

Speaking after his unveiling, the Argentina international expressed excitement about the new challenge.
“I have a winning mentality and I have passion and a big personality,” Garnacho said.

“Chelsea are at the top now, and it’s important to fight for the club like the fans deserve.”

The young forward will now be looking to make an immediate impact as Chelsea continue their push to re-establish themselves among England’s elite.
