If selected against Nottingham Forest, Cesar Azpilicueta will become our leading overseas appearance maker, a remarkable achievement considering Chelsea are a club with a long and proud history of foreign players. You only have to look at the names below him in the list to appreciate the magnitude of this impending accolade.

Azpilicueta's next appearance will be his 495th for Chelsea. Here are the current top 10 overseas appearance makers:

Petr Cech 494

Cesar Azpilicueta 494

Didier Drogba 381

Branislav Ivanovic 377

John Mikel Obi 372

Eden Hazard 352

Willian 339

Gianfranco Zola 312

Eidur Gudjohnsen 263

N’Golo Kante 262

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 club in our history.
