5 players who lived up to their legendary jersey numbers

#5 Juventus Number 10- Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has become the soul of the Juventus team in recent years

The Number 10 jersey of the Turin club has a rich history with the likes of Fabia Capello, Michel Platini, Roberto Baggio and Alessandro Del Piero amongst the great footballers who have worn it. Touted as one of the best midfielders of the current generation, Paul Pogba was handed the number on the departure of Carlos Tevez and the Frenchman’s meteoric rise has complemented the greatness that is associated with the number he dons.

The midfielder, who was let go by legendary manager Alex Ferguson at Manchester United has won SerieA for four consecutive years (2012-16) and is expected to move back to his old home for a record-breaking fee in the current transfer window. While the transfer fee is believed to be in excess of £100 million and might seem excessive even by today’s inflated standards, he will instantly improve the frail United midfield.
