"Andreas Christensen's Chelsea contract expires this summer, bringing an end to his ten years with the club, during which he progressed from our Academy and went on to play 161 games in our senior squad.
"He would win the FA Cup, the Europa League, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup, and, most notably, the Champions League." Last year, he came off the bench in the first half of the final in Porto and was instrumental in our defensive victory over Manchester City.
"Christensen's Chelsea journey began in 2012, when he arrived in London from his hometown of Brondby in Denmark. He made an immediate impact in our Academy, reaching two finals in his first season and won two trophies in his second, the FA Youth Cup and the Under-21 Premier League.
"He was named on the bench for the final game of the 2012/13 Premier League season, a win against Everton, shortly after his 17th birthday, and he was then involved in a post-season tour to the United States."
"In 2014/15, Christensen's engagement with Jose Mourinho's side increased, and he made his Chelsea debut in a fourth-round League Cup victory over Shrewsbury. He started at right-back for the entire 90 minutes, and he played a similar role in the FA Cup fourth round against Bradford.
"Christensen continued to flourish for our Academy teams as we won the UEFA Youth League for the first time." A successful third year at Chelsea culminated in a Premier League debut against Sunderland on the day we won the title, followed by a senior Denmark debut against Montenegro in a friendly.
