Antonio Rudiger has been a solid wall for Chelsea since joining the club back in 2017, keeping a clean sheet in more than a third of the games he has played in the Premier League.
Rudiger has won the FA Cup and the Europa League in his first two seasons since joining from Roma, making 79 appearances in all competitions.
On Tuesday, the £45m rated star celebrated his second anniversary since he signed for the club and put out a special tweet to the Chelsea fans to commemorate the day.
2 years ago I signed for @ChelseaFC ???? I am very grateful for this. I will give everything to make my 3rd year even more successful ???????? Thanks to all of you! ???????? #Hustle #AlwaysBelieve https://t.co/OLeXK1U4rt

Fans seemed to remember the day with fondness and sent out loving messages to the centre-back.
Rudiger is currently nursing a knee injury suffered towards the end of last season, with the club fearful the 26-year-old could miss the start of next season.
Here is a selection of replies from fans after the anniversary of Rudiger’s signing on Tuesday:
And we are more grateful to have you in our club ????
