My first conversation with Jose Mourinho was great," Florent Malouda revealed to Ladbrokes in 2022.

I was so relieved to have got the green light to travel to London to finalise my contract.

We talked for a while about which number I was going to wear. In France, I wore the number seven shirt, so I asked Jose about the availability of that. He said 'No, Sheva (Andriy Shevchenko) is number seven. Forget about it'."
