Koulibaly asked Terry if he could take up his shirt number at Chelsea: video

Kalidou Koulibaly will wear number 26 at Chelsea. This number has been previously worn by John Terry.

It turns out the Senegalese called the legendary centre-back to ask for his permission to take up the number 26.

Terry said that it's a 'pleasure' for him that Koulibaly would play with a 26 on his back.

This is a really nice gesture by Kalidou as he showed that he knows and respects Chelsea's history.
