The Gabon international will need to overcome the unpleasant trend of the shirt number 9 jersey at Chelsea. It is a trend that any player who picked the number 9 jersey at the club turned out a flop, however, Auba went ahead to take that risk as he was handed the number 9 shirt at Stamford Bridge.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang jersey number at Chelsea

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has chosen to take a risk by picking the number 9 shirt at the club as he is set to lead the attacking line for the blues. Chelsea has had an epileptic attacking force since the exit of Oliver Giroud and a loan move of Lukaku back to his former club Inter.

Chelsea officially unveiled the forward as a new Chelsea signing a day after the closure of the summer transfer window. Aubameyang joined Chelsea from Barcelona for 10m pounds plus Marcos Alonso. Aubameyang has had a great outing in Spain after his controversial Arsenal exit.

90minsoccer understands that the Gabonese striker sealed a two-year contract with the Blues that will keep him at the club until summer 2024. It is a happy reunion between Aubameyang and his former manager Thomas Tuchel who once coached him at Borussia Dortmund. It will be easier for Tuchel to manage the new signing at Chelsea since he is already conversant with his style of play.

Many football lovers including some Chelsea fans believed Aubameyang made the wrong choice of shirt number selection. The allocation of his shirt number can be termed a to be controversial as the number 9 shirt number belongs to Chelsea loanee striker Romelu Lukaku who is on a season-long loan at Inter.

Which Jersey number will Lukaku wear when he returns to Chelsea?

Should Lukaku return to Chelsea next summer, there will definitely be a change of shirt number, as either Lukaku will be made to pick another shirt number or Aubameyang may have to drop the number 9 shirt for the rightful owner.

Before Lukaku, many other players have worn the number 9 shirt at Chelsea, most of which didn’t have a great spell at the club and turned out a flop before exiting the club. Tammy Abraham was the occupant of the shirt number before the arrival of Lukaku and was not performing as expected, however, the introduction of Lukaku into the position didn’t get any better.

Also on the list of players who have won the iconic shirt number at the club are Steve Sidwell, Franco Di Santo, Fernando Torres, Radamel Falcao, Alvaro Morata, and Khalid Boulahrouz among others.

Aubameyang Jersey Number History

However, Aubameyang is no stranger to the shirt number as he had worn the number 9 shirt at his former club Saint-Etienne – during the 2010/11 season – The Gabonese forward also wore the shirt at Dijon in 2008 before his move to Saint-Etienne. During his brief stay at FC Barcelona, Auba occupied the No.17 jersey which is currently occupied by Chelsea’s new signing Raheem Sterling – Also, Auba wore the No.14 shirt at Arsenal, No.17 at Dortmund, and No.7 for most of his time at St Etienne.

Chelsea fans, the head coach, and the entire management of the club will be hoping the player overcomes the ill luck of the number 9 shirt number.

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

 Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangers’ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park — and he didn’t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end — a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done — pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesn’t happen every day, and it’s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtis’ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry — showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celtic’s Japanese Duo

Published

“Are Celtic’s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatate”

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the team’s key Japanese players — Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walker’s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they don’t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walker’s view stems from both men’s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston — and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda — who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season — has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walker’s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maeda’s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away — only for Celtic to block it — and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaign’s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

 The Bigger Picture

Celtic’s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walker’s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward — and who’s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
