GOAL has released the full list of numbers for Pochettino’s Chelsea squad for the 2023/24 season, including new signings Nkunku & Jackson.
Chelsea has a big task to try to rise from the slump in the English Premier League that occurred last season.
The Blues have spent nearly £700 million since Todd Boehly’s takeover at Stamford Bridge one year ago. In that period, 20 new players were brought in, although so far none have benefited the club.

Indeed, despite Chelsea’s wasteful policies, the club recorded its lowest ever number of points in the season that just ended. That saw the Blues finish in an alarming 12th place, 45 points adrift of champions Manchester City and just 10 points away from the relegation zone.
This situation made the coach, who had just been appointed by Mauricio Pochettino, have a very difficult task. He looks to have put his own stamp on the Chelsea squad, with Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Angelo Gabriel, Lesley Ugochukwu and Axel Disasi all recently joined in the transfer market this summer.
As a result of the swelling in the squad, the number of players leaving and incoming players is almost the same. Therefore, many senior pillars have been sold by Chelsea to lighten the salary burden and the size of the squad in general, partly due to financial fair play restrictions.
This massive exodus could lead to players wearing very different jersey numbers compared to last season. Don’t worry! GOAL will be your main source for all the official squad number updates ahead of the new season.

N’Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy are some of the key players to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. The massive exodus means Chelsea now have a great deal of flexibility in terms of bringing in new signings with a smaller number of players.
Interestingly, new signings Nkunku and Jackson have been given the unusual numbers 43 and 45. However, Chelsea have announced that these numbers are for the United States tour only and do not reflect squad numbers for the 2023/24 season, which will be announced in time for the new season..
Players without official squad numbers: Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto, Malang Sarr, Lewis Hall, Andre Santos, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Nicolas Jackson, Romelu Lukaku, Diego Moreira, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, Bashir Humphreys, Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall and Lesley Ugochukwu.
