'If he asks for two more years, just give him the money': Emmanuel Petit urges Chelsea to pay up and extend 'survivor' Antonio Rudiger's deal... and claims German reminds him of 'crazy' ex-Arsenal team-mate Martin Keown

Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has urged the club to meet Antonio Rudiger's demands and extend the German's deal at the club.

Bayern Munich have been heavily linked with a move for the 28-year-old centre-back and reports in Germany on Wednesday suggested the Bundesliga champions have the financial muscle to double his current £5million-per-year wages.

However, that same report also claimed the Germany international - whose deal in the region of £100,000 per week expires in June - wants to stay at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of the season if the European champions will up his pay.
