Chelsea loanee van Ginkel handed Nzonzi's Stoke shirt

Marco van Ginkel has been awarded the number 15 shirt at Stoke City, which was previously donned by Steven N'Zonzi.

Van Ginkel arrived at the Britannia Stadium from Chelsea this summer on a season-long loan deal and has now been handed the number 15 jersey of the recently departed N'Zonzi, who won last season's Player of the Year award, before joining Spanish club Sevilla.

New signings Glen Johnson, Joselu, Ibrahim Afellay, Shay Given, Jakob Haugaard and Moha have been awarded the numbers 8, 11, 14, 24, 29 and 30 respectively.
