NEWCASTLE United striker Craig Bellamy has moved into No 10.
The Welsh international's worth was underlined yesterday when United revealed he will wear the number next season.
Bellamy, who grabbed 15 goals in his first season on Tyneside following his £6m arrival from Coventry last summer, has swapped his No 17 shirt with midfielder Christian Bassedas.
The Argentinian was loaned to Spanish side Tenerife last season and is surplus to requirements at St. James' Park.
Bellamy is on course to be fit for the start of the season after undergoing keyhole knee surgery in May for tendinitis.
Portuguese midfielder Hugo Viana, who joined United last month in an £8.5m deal, has asked to wear No 45 as he did at former club Sporting Lisbon.
Goalkeeper Adam Collin, 17, has been awarded the number 33 shirt.
