Antonio Rudiger has insisted he is 'happy' at Chelsea as the in-demand defender stressed that he is fully focused on his performances amid the German's contract uncertainty.
The clock is ticking for Chelsea and Rudiger to reach an agreement over a contract extension, with the 28-year-old's current deal expiring next summer.
If no agreement is finalised by January 1, 2022, Rudiger will be free to negotiate with overseas clubs with a view to joining at the expiration of his deal at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
Rudiger has been a star performer for Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel, having failed to flourish under former boss Frank Lampard.
