Cesar azpilicueta

Now in his fifth season with Chelsea, Spanish international Cesar Azpilicueta has been a steady fixture at the left-back position for the Blues.

He has played every minute of the 2016-17 season thus far, and his skill on the ball can be an advantage both in defence and in the attack.

Azpilicueta’s flexibility can be a major tactical asset for manager Antonio Conte as well, as he can play in both a right-back and midfield role.
