A great servant to the club but Chelsea must stick to their policy on contracts offered to players of 30 years or older. Even though this will probably mean that the England man will leave the club in the summer it’s a move that the Blues should stick to in order to properly oversee a process that will see the old guard replaced by young emerging talent.

To that end Ryan Bertrand has shown great potential and is the ideal man to fill the undoubted void that will be left by the departing left-back.
