HAZARD TO WEAR NUMBER 10
Posted on: Tue 03 Jun 2014
The Player of the Year will change from his existing number 17, which he has worn for the previous two years.
Hazard said: 'I am very pleased to be able to wear the number 10 for Chelsea.
'It is my favourite number and is one I am used to wearing for the national team, as well as the one worn by some of my heroes from when I was a kid, like Zinedine Zidane.
'I hope it brings me a lot of luck in the future and I look forward to the fans seeing me in it next season.'
The previous incumbent of the number 10 was Juan Mata, who departed for Manchester United in January after two-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge. He replaced Yossi Benayoun in 2011, while the Israeli had taken the shirt following Joe Cole's departure the previous summer after eight years as our number 10.
