Sergio Santos will wear No. 20

Newly acquired striker Sergio Santos will be wearing No. 20 this season for the Philadelphia Union.

The 24-year-old Brazilian revealed his new number in an Instagram post on Monday.

Santos will be the sixth player to wear No. 20 for the Union. Roger Torres wore the number in the inaugural season, Carlos Ruiz wore it in 2011, Jimmy McLaughlin wore it from 2012 to 215, Walter Restrepo in 2016 and Marcus Epps the past two seasons.

The Union paid a $500,000 buyout fee to acquire Santos from Chilean Primera Division club Audax Italiano last month, beating out Liga MX club Necaxa for his signature.

He wore the number 17 in Chile, which is CJ Sapong’s number.
