Juventus give Paul Pogba number 10 shirt ahead of new season

Juventus give French midfielder Paul Pogba the number 10 shirt ahead of the new season, despite transfer speculation surrounding the player.

Juventus have handed French midfielder Paul Pogba the number 10 shirt ahead of the new season.

The 22-year-old follows in the footsteps of Allesandro del Piero, Roberto Baggio and Michel Platini by wearing the jersey.

Speaking of the number's significance to Juventus supporters, club president Andrea Agnelli told Tuttosport in July: "If anything, shirt numbers are important from a commercial perspective - the number 10 has always made people dream, it's the shirt that the kids want

"However, it's a shirt that we must find a player with certain characteristics for, a phenomenon. Especially when we're talking about the number 10 of Juventus."

Pogba has been linked with moves to Barcelona and Manchester City this summer.
