Chelsea forward Kai Havertz has praised the impact club captain Cesar Azpilicueta has had at Stamford Bridge and pointed to the help offered after completing his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.
Azpilicueta's contract in west London is set to expire at the end of the current campaign and a departure as a free agent is now looking more and more likely.
The Spaniard was eager to sign a new two-year deal with the option of a third, while the Blues were not willing to commit to anything more than a one-year extension, with Azpilicueta now in his 30s.
