Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has made a remarkable transfer u-turn after admitting that he wants to stay at the club beyond this summer.

The Danish international player has three years left on his Chelsea contract which will expire at the end of the 2021/22 season.
Andreas Christensen featured in all of the 15 games played by Chelsea during the latest Europa League campaign which the Blues ended as champions after the 4-1 win over Arsenal in their final clash.
