(Reuters) - Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has signed a new four-year deal that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2022, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.

Azpilicueta has made 298 appearances for Chelsea since he signed from French side Marseille in 2012 and is on course to become only the seventh overseas player to feature in 300 matches for the club.
