Cesar Azpilicueta Signs New Long-Term Chelsea Deal After Earning Captain's Mantle

Chelsea stalwart Cesar Azpilicueta has signed a new long-term deal at Stamford Bridge, which will keep him in west London until 2022.

The Spaniard is just two games away from hitting 300 for the Blues, and has captained them for much of the season – playing predominantly at right-back after spending Antonio Conte's reign as part of a back three.

Speaking to the club's website, Azpilicueta said: "I am really happy to extend my stay here at Chelsea. Since I came, I felt the joy and responsibility to play for this club, these fans, and every time I go on the pitch I try do my best.
