Christensen wants to stay at Chelsea to become 'best defender in the world'

Andreas Christensen says he hopes to remain at Chelsea as he looks to become a player counted among the best footballlers in the world.

The 23-year-old defender has been with Chelsea since 2012, first in the academy before making his first team debut in 2014.

Under Antonio Conte in 2017-18, Christensen made 40 total appearances as he proved a fixture in the Chelsea defence, but the Danish international has featured in just four Premier League matches this campaign under Maurizio Sarri.
