Before now, there have been lots of talks about who would be the Chelsea captain after John Terry’s exit.
Finally, it has been revealed that Gary Cahill will be Chelsea’s skipper and Cesar Azpilicueta will be the vice.
Speaking on being handed the honour of being Chelsea captain, Cahill said: “Thank you, yes, it’s definitely a proud moment in my career. I’ve had some good moments up until now and this certainly ranks very highly.
“To be captain of such a huge club like Chelsea is a great personal achievement.”
However, some Chelsea fans have reacted negatively to this and many believe David Luiz should be the captain or the vice-captain at least.
David Luiz is the true leader. Cahill isn't. https://t.co/hD6iv4FnGx

Gary Cahill did pretty well in John Terry’s absence last season and in my opinion has the experience and deserves to be Chelsea captain.
