Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta is excited for the upcoming Premier League season.

The Spaniard will work under former teammate Frank Lampard, who was announced as Maurizio Sarri's successor last week.

After finishing third and winning the Europa League, Azpilicueta says the Blues are working hard to prepare for the 2019/20 campaign.

"I'm really looking forward to the new season," Azpilicueta told the club's website.

"We've all had a good break, which was needed after a long season with the Europa League running until the end of May.

"It was great to win a trophy to finish with and now we are all ready and raring to get back at it.

"It's always a lot of hard work during pre-season but it's the work you have to put in, to create a good base for our physical condition.

"We want to play with high intensity and we want to be dominant in games, the manager has explained how he wants us to play and we are all enjoying the camp so far."
