Football Updates
Tammy Abraham has revealed that new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has asked him to wear the club's number nine shirt.
The striker appeared in the top during the Blues' pre-season friendly against Barcelona on Tuesday, and subsequently revealed that he'd told Lampard he was ready for the honour.
Abraham scored the opener as his side ran out 2-1 winners against Barca in Japan, and told reporters: "I am honoured to wear the number nine shirt at Chelsea.
"I spoke to the manager and he asked me if I am ready to take the number nine. I said I am ready.
"I'm glad he offered it to me. I've heard all the rubbish about the number nine, but I'm here to play my game and do my best.
"Football brings a lot of pressure. It drives me on. It gives me the extra belief. It was my first goal in a Chelsea shirt and now that's out of the way it will be nice to push on and score some more."
Chelsea are left with a dearth of forward options for 2019/20 following the departures of Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain, as their transfer ban prevents new signings.
Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi and Abraham will now lead the line at Stamford Bridge, with many fans concerned ahead of the new campaign.
The latest worry of supporters however, appears to be the 21-year-old's new number, given that it was previously worn by multiple failed Blues strikers going before him.
You can read a round-up of the reaction below.
Tammy Abraham has announced he'll be wearing the Chelsea number 9 Jersey this year.
Previous Chelsea Number 9s

Tammy Abraham will break the curse of the number 9 shirt, I have full faith. For years we've bought big money strikers, given them the 9 and they flop one after the other. We needed a youth product, a Chelsea boy to step in and end this juju. He took the long road.

Celebrity gist
Curvy Ghanaian actress, Tracey Boakye, who few days ago, said her claim of paying men for sex was a joke, has made yet another questionable statement - this time, she is saying she has great respect for roadside prostitutes. Decrying the ' commercial sex workers ' tag on prostitutes when other women go about having sex with their boyfriends for material gains all in the name of 'courtship', the Ghanaian actress maintained that these prostitutes took bold steps to make money and support their needs. She said in an interview with Sammy Flex, "In this world when you're not married and you have sex, its prostitution. Whether you stand outside or do it indoors. Ghanaians we have a problem. We prefer those who always try to pretend. We are hypocrites. Someone is charging money for sex by the roadside, you on the other hand do it indoors yet at the end of the day, we tend to judge the roadside ones. If you'd ask me I'll choose those who stand by the...
