London — Spanish international, Cesar Azpilicueta, one of the longest-serving players at Chelsea, signed a new four-year contract on Tuesday which if he sees it out will take him to 10 years with the Premier League club.
The 29-year-old defender – who joined the Blues in 2012 from French outfit Marseille and has won the Premier League title twice as well as captained them this season in the league — says his desire to fight for the club is stronger than ever.
Azpilicueta, who is two appearances short of 300 for the club, has been a pivotal player in the bright start to the Maurizio Sarri reign which sees them lying in third spot, seven points off leaders Manchester City.
“Delighted to be a blue until 2022,” the 25-times capped Spaniard said on his Twitter account. — AFP.
