This morning, AC Milan announced that they had signed Pervis Estupinan from Brighton and Hove Albion on a five year deal.
With a few different numbers available to pick from, there has been a bit of intrigue as to what number Estupinan would choose to wear at Milan, and it seems like a bit of a match made in heaven.

Earlier this week, Rossoneri icon Cafu praised the defender, stating that he is a ‘great fit’ for the club, and today, he has been unveiled to be wearing the same number that the Brazilian did in Milano, which is rather fitting.
Considering he was signing autographs with the number two underneath yesterday, as our colleague Luca Maninetti idenitified, it was written, quite literally that he would (or had) chosen to represent the same number.
🚨 Escl. – #Estupinan potrebbe prendere la maglia numero 2 con il #Milan, quella indossata recentemente da Davide Calabria.

After being praised by the legendary defender, holding the same shirt number, hopefully he can follow his career path and become a great for the Rossonero.
Amazing, Bravo
Where did you find these images? The quality is appalling.

Glad it’s not a stupid number like 54 or 73. Contemporary players make all sorts of random number choices.
I really have good feelings about him. He will come good. 👍🏻
If he stays healthy, the kid is a steal. Like a Puli type.
They need to ask the opinion of guys like Cafu, these guys know a lot more about football than the bean counters and Moncada.
Cafu praised the signing of Emerson Royal too.
Cafu praised Royal only because it’s a fellow countryman, of course…
