New Inter arrival Joaquin Correa has decided on his shirt number, and will wear Number Sixteen playing for the Nerazzurri.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that the Argentine is ready to officially complete his move and has settled on a shirt number with his new club.

Correa is in Milan getting the formalities of his transfer from Lazio wrapped up, and soon he will be able to start preparing for the rest of the season with the Nerazzurri.

The 27-year-old will wear the Number Sixteen shirt which is set to be vacated by Austrian wing-back Valentino Lazaro, who is on the verge of a loan move with a purchase obligation to Benfica.

Correa had previously worn the Number Eleven shirt with his last two clubs Sevilla and Lazio, but with that number occupied by defender Aleksandar Kolarov he will make the switch to his new number.
