The highly-rated Denmark international centre-half has has made his breakthrough with the Blues this season, and continues to earn widespread praise
Andreas Christensen is as good as Liverpool’s £75 million centre-half Virgil van Dijk and has saved Chelsea “an awful lot of money” in the transfer market, says Frank Lampard.
The 21-year-old entered the 2017-18 campaign with just three senior appearances for the Blues under his belt – having spent the last two seasons on loan in Germany at Borussia Monchengladbach.
His obvious potential had been noted in the Bundesliga, with Antonio Conte prepared to give him a chance at Stamford Bridge as David Luiz saw a dip in form drop him out o favour.
