The Spaniard has been an incredible servant since arriving from Marseille in 2012, and one that Chelsea fans cherish having in their side.

Incredibly, Azpilicueta has played across the whole back four/five ins his five years at the club and has looked extremely comfortable wherever he has played. He is one of the Premier League all-time great defenders and is still underrated by fans outside of England.
