James Rodríguez expects to be officially announced as a new signing for Everton FC in the next few hours. There is great expectation for his arrival in the city of Liverpool and already the ‘toffee’ fans want to see him dressed in blue. And although it seems a minor detail, without much relevance, many wonder what number will he wear on his shirt?
The ’10’ of the Colombian National Team wants to recover his mythical number, since he had it in his first cycle at Real Madrid (he also had it in Monaco before), but when he went to Bayern Munich he had to wear shirt number 11, because the Dutchman Arjen Robben had the number 10. And when he returned to the merengue club, Luka Modric had already inherited that number, so James had to wear the ’16’.
Now many expect James to wear the Everton ’10’, but he already has an owner and it seems that the owner of that number does not want to let go. This is the Icelandic Gylfi Sigurdsson, who gave clues this Saturday of the number that the Colombian Rodríguez will wear.
In a friendly match against Preston North End FC, Sigurdsson started and took the ’10’, as is his custom.
Although it is a preseason game, Everton FC would have already had a first change in the numbers for next season: the left-back Lucas Digne, who wore the ’12’ a year ago, could have the ‘3’, emblematic because it is over to withdraw Leighton Baines and would be inherited to the French. Beni Baningime appeared with the ’12’ and showed that there may still be changes in the numbering.
Will they give James the ’10’? The ’16’, which was his last number at Real Madrid, is free at Everton, just in case.
