Recently, Chelsea confirmed that new summer signing N’Golo Kante will wear the number seven shirt at Chelsea.
The Frenchman, who joined from Premier League champions Leicester City for a fee of around £30million, will follow in the footsteps of many players who have worn the number seven at Stamford Bridge.
Last season, Kante was one of the best players in a remarkable season for Leicester City following his move from French side Caen. Winning the Premier League in his first season in English football, Kante was named in the PFA Team of the Year for the 2015/16 season, and gained many plaudits for his performances across a historic season for the Foxes.
The French international became Antonio Conte’s second signing as Chelsea manager after Michy Batshuayi joined the club from Marseille earlier this summer. As Kante has taken the number seven shirt, we take a look at the last five players to have worn that number and see how they managed at Stamford Bridge.
