New Chelsea signing Kai Havertz has thanked Fikayo Tomori after the youngster allowed him to take the club's No 29 shirt.
Havertz has worn the No 29 in each season of his senior career since making the breakthrough at Bayer Leverkusen in the 2016-17 campaign.
Tomori had been given the No 29 when he was promoted to the first-team last year but has now switched to No 14.
Writer's pick:
- Fulham sign Areola on loan from PSG
- Aston Villa sign striker Ollie Watkins from Brentford in a club-record deal
On Instagram, Havertz posted a picture of his new shirt accompanied by the caption: 'thank you @fiakyotomori - 29.'
According to Source, Havertz passed up a £9million transfer bonus so that he could secure his move to Chelsea.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has been pleased with Havertz's humble nature since he joined the club.
Lampard told Chelsea's official website:
‘Kai is a really exciting signing for myself and for the club first and foremost.
‘We also have to understand that he is a fantastic young talent but we must give him time to let him settle and let those talents come through.'
‘On his personality, I have been absolutely overwhelmed with how humble and down to earth he is, and how well he wants to do here, and how he is very excited with the challenge.
