The striker, who will complete his move from Birmingham City on Thursday, used to wear the number ten shirt for the Sky Blues before he was sold to Birmingham City by Paul Fletcher for an initial cash payment of £2.235m which stopped the club from going bust.
Currenty Freddy Eastwood has the number ten shirt and the Coventry born forward told the CT: "I obviously had the number ten shirt when I left and nine would be nice if it was available but that's not top of my agenda because there are more important things than fighting over a shirt number.
"It doesn't really bother me and I certainly don't want to upset anyone - I just want to get on with the lads, play well with them and do my best, whatever number I wear.
