Monaco favourites to secure Christensen signing

Andreas Christensen’s days at Chelsea could be numbered.

An astonishing thing to say, considering the 22-year-old enjoyed a hugely positive 2017-18 season under Antonio Conte.

However, Christensen has found life more difficult working with Maurizio Sarri. Having made just three Chelsea appearances so far this season, the central defender has seen the bulk of his playing time come with the Danish national team.

Being kept out of the starting XI at Stamford Bridge by David Luiz and Antonio Rüdiger, Christensen has revealed to the media that he is looking to play regular football at this point in his career.

Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach have professed an interest in Christensen, but a Foot Mercato report suggests a new horse has emerged as the leader in the race for the centre-half.

AS Monaco have had a tricky start to the season, and the recent sacking of boss Leonardo Jardim was followed with the appointment of club legend Thierry Henry.

With a loan deal most likely, the switch could also feature an option for the club to buy Christensen should they wish to.

Despite Mönchengladbach having a history with Christensen (after a spell on loan), the report claims Die Fohlen cannot afford to sign their former loanee.
