Chelsea have welcomed the pre-season form shown by Franco Di Santo by giving him the number 9 shirt for the coming campaign. The 19 year old, who’s shown he’s got bags of potential has clearly impressed the boss, who may well have decided that even at this early stage, it’s time the young Argentinean was given the vote of confidence.
Scolari has already expressed a desire to “develop young players” at the club and with Di Santo not only playing a big part during pre-season but being presented with the shirt on his return, he looks certain to feature for the first team during the coming season.
As long as he gets more wear out of it than its former owner that is!
