Chelsea defender and Spain international Cesar Azpilicueta has set a new record at Stamford Bridge following his appearance during their Sunday match against Nottingham Forest.

This comes as Azpilicueta became Chelsea’s leading overseas appearance maker.

The defender’s achievement is remarkable considering Chelsea are a club with a long and proud history of foreign players.

Azpilicueta’s appearance against Nottingham Forest makes it his 495th for Chelsea. Here are the current top 10 overseas appearance makers:

Petr Cech 494

Cesar Azpilicueta 494

Didier Drogba 381

With his sub appearance against Bournemouth on Tuesday, Azpilicueta moved level with Petr Cech in our all-time appearance list.

Now only Ron Harris (795 games), Peter Bonetti (729), John Terry (717), Frank Lampard (648) and John Hollins (592) have made more appearances for the Blues.
