'My best Spain games were with him': Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta admits he would welcome a reunion with Luis Enrique after the Spaniard was linked with the head coach vacancy at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has given his stamp of approval to Luis Enrique as the Blues continue their search for Graham Potter's permanent successor.

Potter was dismissed earlier this month, with the Blues turning to ex-manager Frank Lampard on an interim basis until the end of the season.

Several candidates have been linked with the vacancy including former Barcelona and Spain boss Enrique.

Azpilicueta played under his countryman for La Roja and suggested he would enjoy a reunion at Stamford Bridge.

'My best games with the national team were with Luis Enrique,' he told EFE.
