Chelsea confirmed on their official website that Cesar Azpilicueta has signed a new long-term deal with Chelsea.
The 3-and-a-half year deal will see Azpilicueta remain at the club until 2020 – which has made the Chelsea fans very happy.
Discussing the deal, Azpi said: “This new contract gives me the chance to continue my relationship with the club, that’s what I wanted and obviously I’m really happy here”
Good news all round, then.
Roman thinks that this deal is a masterstroke by Chelsea. Azpilicueta rarely gets the headlines, but he is always stellar – and he will continue to be the main man in the defence for years to come.
