Footage has emerged of Chelsea new boy Kalidou Koulibaly calling John Terry to ask for his blessing to wear his iconic No 26 shirt for the Blues.
Koulibaly, who joined from Napoli last month in a deal worth £34million, wore the same number during his time in Naples and wished to retain the number having joined Chelsea.
With the number holding such gravitas at Chelsea with Terry having worn it for his entire spell as a first team player at the club, Koulibaly deemed it necessary to call the former club captain to ask his permission to take it on.
