https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66079631 Azpi, our captain, has been released from his Chelsea contract with a year to go and is expected to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer before the window closes. Great player in his prime and a good captain, he won every trophy possible with Chelsea... Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, Europa League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup. And he made a record 13 appearances in cup finals for Chelsea. Big up Dave! And good luck Senor.
Incredible captain and player. Always been solid but he had that really good patch in the middle where it felt no winger would ever get past him. If he had 1 weakness defensively, it was in the air but he made up for it with his tenacity and effort. Wasn't always the best going forward but he covered so much group up and down it didn't matter. Good luck Dave, chelsea legend through and through
Dave has been fantastic for Chelsea as a player and a captain. He has won everything with us and deserved it all. Though past his best now, he has more than earned his place as a Chelsea great, and the Club will miss his experience and professionalism greatly. Enjoy your time back in your own country Dave, and hope to see you at the Bridge whenever you choose to visit.
