Leicester City finally have their first signing through the door after Woyo Coulibaly joined on Wednesday.

Coulibaly was formally unveiled shortly before the Foxes’ 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace after completing a deal estimated to be worth £3m

The full-back watched on from the stands at the King Power Stadium and will link up with his new teammates ahead of Saturday’s game against Fulham.

At the time of writing, the 25-year-old hasn’t been handed a squad number – although that will change by the time the next fixture comes around – and supporters will be keen to see which one he chooses.

So, with that, here are the squad numbers available to Leicester’s first signing of the transfer window.

Leicester City squad numbers: Every number available to Woyo Coulibaly

During his time at Parma, Coulibaly wore the number 26 shirt but this is unlikely to be available after Ben Nelson, who returned from his loan spell at Oxford United due to injury.

The typical full-back numbers of two and three are also unavailable, meaning that he is likely to have one of the higher numbers.

12 is the lowest number available to Coulibaly and is a viable option for the Frenchman, who could also pick numbers way into the 30s.

Will Woyo Coulibaly make his Leicester City debut this weekend?

There will be very little time in-between the midweek defeat against Palace and Saturday’s home game against Fulham, but there is every chance Coulibaly could be involved.

It’s unlikely he will get a lot of chance to train with his new teammates but with the options at full back looking sporadic at best, he may come straight into the squad.

Some Leicester fans have been frustrated by James Justin this season and will be hoping for the right-back, who can also play as a left-back, to come in to the side.

Realistically, an appearance off the bench feels most likely this weekend before challenging for a starting spot in the weeks after.
