Thomas Tuchel has sent a message to six players after Chelsea's squad numbers for the 2022/23 campaign were confirmed this week.
New signings Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Carney Chukwuemeka have all received their official squad numbers for the upcoming campaign. Armando Broja and Conor Gallagher have also received squad numbers following their return from successful loan spells with Southampton and Crystal Palace respectively.
football.london understands Chelsea have agreed reached an agreement to make Marc Cucurella their fifth summer signing, despite Brighton denying they have sanctioned an exit for the Spanish defender. Levi Colwill is amongst those to not receive a squad number as speculation over his future continues, but the Blues are reluctant to let the 19-year-old leave on a permanent deal this summer.
