According to the latest report, Blues defender Andreas Christensen is growing frustrated at Chelsea because of the lack of football at the club.
Christensen has informed the Chelsea faithful with an update on his future, amid the transfer speculation growing around the young defender.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has mainly used David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger in the heart of the defense and the duo has been rock solid so far. In fact, Andreas Christensen, who was a key figure under former boss Antonio Conte last season, has not been able to feature for Chelsea in the Premier League so far.
Christensen was impressive for the Blues last term after the Dane returned from his loan spell at German club Borussia Monchengladbach and was tipped to be a future captain at the club as his qualities were compared with legendary captain John Terry.
Christensen’s father stated that he would prefer if his son moved away from Chelsea in order for regular football elsewhere as there is no shortage of clubs demanding a quality young central defender. Although, the 22-year-old Christensen himself doesn’t think that he would be leaving the club in the January transfer window.
When asked by Sky Sports about whether he would leave Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window, Christensen wasn’t really sure but still stuck to saying that he would not depart anytime soon, “Difficult question. No, I don’t think so. Things are different from last season. I played a lot of games [last season] but this season it hasn’t been like that. It’s always difficult for a player but we’ll see what happens. If you asked every player that’s not playing if they’re happy, they’re going to say no,”
Christensen explained that every player wants to play and he will try and take his opportunities in the Europa League to convince the manager for a regular berth in the starting eleven, “Everyone wants to play. I can’t do anything else but go back there, train and do my best. Every time I get that opportunity, I have to do well and show him that he can count on me. You don’t want to sit around and wait for it. You want to play straight away and that’s why we all play football. Not playing is not fun. It’s a different situation to last season.”
Christensen is an important squad player but at the moment, Luiz and Rudiger are doing a great job in the back line for Chelsea. The Danish defender has to improve and probably get better with experience and only then can he start to demand a place in the starting eleven for Chelsea.
