Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has revealed that the club blocked any potential January transfer.
Christensen says that there was a lot of talk about his future last month during the transfer window, but Chelsea made it clear to him that he was in their plans for the future and that he would not be sold.
The Danish defender has found his chances limited this season, with David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger currently Maurizio Sarri’s first-choice central defensive partnership, although he was able to start against Huddersfield in a 5-0 win earlier this month.
Speaking to Bold, Christensen said this:
It is hard. Right now there are two clear first choices, and then there is me who comes right after. I just have to show, I’m ready and grab the chance when I get it.
There was a lot of talk, but it was pretty soon made clear to me that the club still saw me as one of those to play.
Of course it is really nice to hear, and I just have to keep showing myself. I think I’ve done well, the last few times I’ve got the chance, and I just have to hope that something is pointed to me more often.
