Romeo Lavia is all set to represent Chelsea as the Belgian choose them as his next destination. Despite interest from Liverpool, Romeo has chosen Chelsea as the deal is all set and signed with Southampton. Chelsea will feel they’ve got their man in Moises Caicedo, and if they believe he wasn’t enough, they’re focused for the Belgian midfielder. Lavia potential shirt number at Chelsea is yet to be decided as the Belgian grows interest to play for the Blues.
The Blues have continued to attract emerging talents to Stamford Bridge. As sharp and ready Pochettino and his squad looks, they always pull off brilliance beyond expectations. Pochettino’s project to re-build Chelsea’s midfield is blooming after the legendary N’Golo Kante leave for Saudi pro League. A primary target this summer was to sign a midfielder who can operate the game from the middle. Therefore, Chelsea wants someone who can attack and defend when when time be. Pochettino might spoil the party for his opponents from the get-go, as he’d decorate his midfield with Lavia and Caicedo.
Available shirt number for Lavia:
As per reports the number 4 is available. However, Caicedo is expected to stick with the 25 shirt he wore for Brighton. As for Lavia, he could go bold and opt for a number of his choice, but he might also continue with number 45 on his back.
Some other possibilities for the 19-year-old, with Chelsea currently filling vacancies for the 12, 22, 28 and 30 shirts. The lack of options means it wouldn’t be a surprise if Lavia sticks with 45.
