As Liam Delap takes the number nine shirt at Chelsea, we've taken a look at the last 10 strikers to wear the number nine shirt at Stamford Bridge.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the last forward to wear the number nine shirt at Chelsea and he scored just three times in 15 Premier League games for the club.

Romelu Lukaku and Tammy Abraham have also worn the number nine shirt in recent times but they were also less than prolific at Stamford Bridge.
