Antonio Rudiger knows 'everybody wants him to stay,' insists Thomas Tuchel as Chelsea boss heaps praise on star following 3-0 win at Leicester - with defender yet to sign a new deal amid interest from Bayern Munich

Antonio Rudiger's steep wage demands are growing more reasonable by the game. After a goal, clean-sheet and praise from Thomas Tuchel at Leicester, his case couldn't be stronger.

The 28-year-old headed the opener as Chelsea bullied Leicester in their own back-yard, employing the ruthlessness so loved by Tuchel to shut down the Foxes attack and force his seventh shut-out of the season.

With the popular German's deal slipping towards expiry next summer, interest is swelling elsewhere. Bayern Munich are reportedly willing meet his £10m wage demands, which would double his current pay.
