FC Bayern Munich's new signing, defender Nathaniel Brown (23), is set to be officially presented on Wednesday at the team hotel in Rottach-Egern. The 50-million-euro signing from Eintracht Frankfurt has already completed fitness tests and his first training session. Speculation is rife that the club may have prematurely revealed his jersey number. A Google search for 'Nene Brown Trikot Bayern' returns a result linking to the official FC Bayern store, listing 'Nathaniel Brown Jersey – Number 11'. The number 11 was previously worn by Nicolas Jackson, who has returned to Chelsea after a loan spell. Brown previously wore numbers 21, 27, and 35 at other clubs, and number 18 for the German national team. The official confirmation is expected during his presentation.

For German national player Brown, a note still appears: "Unfortunately, there are currently no products in Nathaniel Brown." The personalized Nene jersey is not yet officially sold.

If the number choice is confirmed, the native of Amberg would take over the number 11 in Munich from striker Nicolas Jackson (25). The Senegalese national player was loaned from FC Chelsea last season for a loan fee of €16.5 million and returned to England at the end of June.
