# Chelsea to reject approaches for Andreas Christensen

Chelsea are determined to keep hold of Andreas Christensen, despite interest from elsewhere this January.

[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11586055/chelsea-determined-to-keep-andreas-christensen) are reporting that Chelsea want to keep the Dane at Stamford Bridge, despite Barcelona reportedly wanting the defender.

The Blues reportedly view Christensen as a key member of the first team squad, so are therefore reluctant to let the defender leave in this window.

This is despite the player’s father, who is also his agent, admitting that his son may seek a move away if he did not get more playing time.

The defender has only made a few appearances in the first team for the Blues, with one coming in the 2-1 defeat to Wolves earlier this month.

However, the defender did play last night for the Blues in their 1-0 win over Bournemouth, with Chelsea progressing to the Semi-Finals of the Carabao Cup.

Barcelona are reportedly interested in Christensen, with the Catalan giants wanting cover for their current defensive options.
