Andreas Christensen pays tribute to Chelsea in Instagram post ahead of imminent departure from club

Andreas Christensen has made an emotional statement on social media, paying tribute to Chelsea and their fans as he leaves Stamford Bridge.

Christensen joined Chelsea's academy in 2012, and made his senior debut for the Blues in October 2014, but he has played his last game for the club as his contract expires at the end of this week. He is set to join Barcelona on Friday, July 1.

The Danish international took to Instagram to share a passionate message about his decade at the club, joining as a youth player and going on to win the Champions League last summer, as well as noting the last few months have been 'tough' mentally.
