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.
