Chelsea plan contract talks with Antonio Rudiger before Euro 2020

Chelsea are planning contract talks with Antonio Rudiger and they are keen on extending his deal beyond the European Championships this summer, The Mail reports.

The Germany international was largely out-of-favour under former boss Frank Lampard and he was linked with a loan move to Tottenham Hotspur last summer.

Rudiger made only four league appearances until Lampard’s dismissal in January and his fortunes have since changed under Thomas Tuchel.

He has completed the full 90 minutes in nine of the 10 league matches under his compatriot, keeping seven clean sheets in the process.
