'There is no need' - Rudiger won't rush contract talks but is happy at Chelsea

The Blues defender has started every Premier League match for his side this season and he is becoming an increasingly key player at the club

Antonio Rudiger says he is in no rush to renew his Chelsea contract, but has stressed he is happy with life at Stamford Bridge.

The 25-year-old is one of five players to have started every Premier League match under Maurizio Sarri this season and appears to be relishing his role in a back four again.

Chelsea followed up last week’s win over Manchester City with a 2-1 away victory against Brighton on Sunday, with Rudiger involved as the defence held firm under a late surge from the hosts to find the equaliser.
