Cole Palmer will wear the number 10 shirt at Chelsea ahead of the 2025-26 season, Afrosport reports.
Palmer, who joined the Blues from Manchester City in September 2023, has worn the No. 20 shirt in his two seasons at Stamford Bridge.
The 23-year-old gets the No. 10 shirt from Ukraine international Mykhailo Mudryk and follows in the footsteps of past Chelsea stars like Joe Cole, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Willian and Christian Pulisic.
