Honda to wear No.10 shirt with AC Milan

New AC Milan signing Keisuke Honda will wear the club's famed No.10 jersey when he arrives in January from CSKA Moscow. 

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani made the announcement on Friday, and was quoted as saying the following by Sky Sports:

"He will wear jersey No. 10. He asked us for it and we've made him happy. We consider him a really big player."

The Japanese star -- who will arrive at the San Siro on a free transfer -- will follow in the footsteps of some high-profile names to don the Rossoneri No.10, a list that includes the likes of Ruud Gullit, Rui Costa and Clarence Seedorf.
