5 players who are underpaid at Chelsea

#3 César Azpilicueta: £100,000-a-week

The Spaniard is regarded as the best defender in the Premier League presently.

Azplicueta is just about as reliable as defenders come. The player is enjoying a revival of sorts under the Italian boss, Antonio Conte who has certainly brought the best out of him.

The Spaniard was a renowned full-back in the country before 2016. However, Conte moved the player to the centre-back role and there has appeared to be nothing better for him, since then.

He played every single minute of Chelsea's triumphant 2016/17 season. The 28-year-old is one of the most consistent players in Europe and has been sensational in defence in 2017/18 as well.

The defender is a sublime crosser of the ball and has grabbed six assists in the league. His experience has proved vital to the club of late.

It makes absolutely no sense if arguably the best defender in the league is paid even a penny lesser than those who are not even half as good as him.
