Radamel Falcao follows in the footsteps of Fernando Torres as Chelsea No 9... while Asmir Begovic takes Petr Cech's No 1 jersey

Chelsea's new striker Radamel Falcao has officially been confirmed as their new No 9 ahead of the 2015-16 season, following Fernando Torres in wearing the traditional striker's shirt.
The number belonged to Torres since his £50million arrival at Stamford Bridge in 2011, before vacating it at the start of last season following his switch away from the club.
In truth, it didn't bring Torres much luck at Stamford Bridge, as he largely struggled for confidence, form and goals during his three-and-a-half seasons there - managing just 45 goals in 172 games in all competitions

The club announced on their website on Monday: 'Radamel Falcao will wear the No 9 shirt during the 2015-16 campaign.
'The Colombian striker, who recently moved to Stamford Bridge on a season-long loan from Monaco, will take the shirt which was last worn by Fernando Torres prior to his departure.

'Our most recent arrival, Asmir Begovic, will take the vacant No.1 shirt, with Thibaut Courtois remaining No 13.'
In taking Cech's No 1 shirt, Begovic has an incredibly tough act to follow, as the Czech Republic international became a club legend during his 11 years at the club.

He told Chelsea's website upon signing: 'I am very happy to be joining Chelsea.
'After speaking at length to the manager, I feel like I can develop here and be an important part of this team.
'I am looking forward to meeting up with the team on Wednesday for the pre-season tour.'

For Falcao, however, that particular pressure is less of an issue, with Franco Di Santo and Steve Sidwell some of the less than auspicious names to have worn Chelsea's No 9 shirt in recent times.

Franco Di Santo (right) is one of the players to have worn Chelsea's No 9 shirt in more recent times. 2008 - The season Chelsea lost to ManU (Champion League) on penalty kick.

While defender Khalid Boulahrouz, posing with Jose Mourinho, also held the number for a season

Hernan Crespo, with Damien Duff (left) and Frank Lampard wore the shirt for the 2005-06 season



Crepo fire, who can forget him for scoring the first and only goal against Wigan first game of the season in 2015.

Mateja Kezman had the No 9 on his back during his sole season at Stamford Bridge in 2004-05

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink banged in 88 goals in 177 with the No 9 on his back at Chelsea between 2000-04

Hernan Crespo has also had the number, but he was sandwiched between Mateja Kezman and Khalid Boulahrouz on this particular roll call.

And the virtues of Crespo aside, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was the last player to genuinely perform for Chelsea while wearing their No 9 jersey, banging in 88 goals in 177 matches for the club between 2000-04.

While Chris Sutton, Gianluca Vialli, Mark Stein and Tony Cascarino have also worn the shirt for the Blues in the Premier League era.
