Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has insisted he would have stayed at Chelsea whether previous manager Frank Lampard had stayed or not.
Rudiger had played regularly throughout his previous three seasons at Chelsea but found himself out of the first-team picture under Lampard this campaign.
However, he broke back into the Blues side just before Lampard's dismissal in January and has continued to feature under new boss Thomas Tuchel.
And the German centre half admitted he was keen to stay at Stamford Bridge and fight for his place regardless of the managerial situation.
