Juventus have announced that Dušan Vlahović has changed his squad number, and will wear the number nine next season.

Last season, the striker adopted the number seven previously worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, as Álvaro Morata already had the number nine shirt when Vlahović arrived at the club from Fiorentina in January.

Vlahović is yet to hit the kind of form he showed in Tuscany, having netted seven league goals for Juve during the second half of the campaign.

Supporters will be hoping that a change of number will mark a new start for the star forward at Juventus.

The number seven shirt will be taken over by winger Federico Chiesa, who missed the second half of last season with an ACL rupture.

The Italy international is hoping to be fit and raring to go for the start of the new campaign.
