John Stones has finally arrived from Everton on a six-year deal, making him the second most expensive defender of all time, just behind David Luiz (regardless of what Sky Sports might be trying to tell you).
On his arrival, he’s taken the vacant number 24 shirt, which hasn’t been used since the 2010-11 season and may be just a stop-gap until Pablo Zabaleta leaves and lets Stones have the number 5 he wore at Everton.
But who else has worn that number for The Blues? We take a look at the last five players to have run out onto the pitch wearing it, and believe me, you’re going back a while to find five.
