Champions League holders Chelsea are reportedly in a ‘standoff’ with defender Andreas Christensen over a new contract.
The 25-year-old has taken his game to the next level since Thomas Tuchel arrived in January. Alongside team-mate Antonio Rudiger, he has improved massively and is now one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
It is clear that Christensen is vital to Tuchel’s plans going forward. He has already made ten appearances in all competitions this campaign. The Denmark international opened his account for the season in Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Malmo last week.
The star’s current deal at Stamford Bridge expires in June. That means rival clubs can organise a pre-contract agreement with him as early as January.
