John Terry hands Cesar Azpilicueta honest verdict on Chelsea captaincy amid transfer concern

John Terry has said that Cesar Azpilicueta's attitude is 'one of the best' that he encountered during his time at Chelsea. The 32-year-old was named the Blues club captain in 2019 following the departure of Gary Cahill and has since helped the west Londoners win the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

Speaking to Chelsea's in-house media, Terry sung Azpilicueta's praises and recalled the Spain international winning his trust. The former Blues captain said: "When he first came in to the club, he made a big impression within the group.

"His attitude on a day-to-day basis in training was, I have to say, one of the best I came across in my entire football career. His work ethic was incredible. He would get in the gym before training, then get in early and have his breakfast - the preparation was superb."
