Chelsea v Newcastle United - Premier League
Azplicueta has been a consistent figure for Chelsea

If an underrated players’ list was ever compiled, then Azplicueta’s name would be on the top of the list—and somewhere near the top at least. Ever since the Spaniard arrived from Marseille in 2012, he has been a consistent figure at the club.

Be it at right-back, or central defence or left-back, the Spaniard has always given his 100% and is one of those leaders in the dressing room who always wants to win. Indeed, John Terry mentioned that ‘Dave’s’ relentlessness to win sometimes borders on “annoying.”

His payday, however, isn’t as much as he deserves. Last year in December, he signed a new deal that saw him earn £75,000-a-week. For a player of his caliber—added to that his versatility and leadership—that much money is comparatively peanuts and he deserves a pay-hike.
