New signing Deco has been given his favourite squad number 20 after Paulo Ferreira agreed to a swap.

Deco sported the number on his back at both Barcelona and for the Portuguese national team and his friend and compatriot, Ferreira, will change his Chelsea number to 19 following the summer signing.

'I was very happy to swap numbers with Deco,' Ferreira says.

'He has an academy back home that uses the number 20 throughout its work, as he's worn that number for a few years.

'I know how much the academy means to him and therefore how important it is for him to wear the number 20, so when he asked me if he could wear it I said of course, no problem.'

Deco's numbered shirt can be ordered online or bought from the Megastore at Stamford Bridge.
