Cesar Azpilicueta set for Chelsea contract extension and £70,000-a-week after excellent season at Stamford Bridge



Cesar Azpilicueta will be rewarded for his excellent season with a new contract.



The Spaniard has kept England left back Ashley Cole out of the Chelsea team for the majority of the season, despite the fact he is primarily a right back.



His current deal expires in 2017, but the new contract will see his wages improve to around £70,000 per week. Despite this, Jose Mourinho remains in the market for a new left back this summer.
