Sarri 'not interested' in Christensen father's quit threat

Maurizio Sarri is "not interested" in threats made by Andreas Christensen's father that the defender could ask to leave Chelsea in the next transfer window.

Denmark international Christensen said this month that he may look to depart Stamford Bridge if he fails to force himself back into the first-team reckoning.

Christensen has struggled to nail down a regular spot this term, with boss Sarri employing a four-man defence and choosing to regularly partner Antonio Rudiger alongside David Luiz at centre-back.

Indeed, the 22-year-old's only appearances this season have come in the Carabao Cup and Europa League, leading his father and agent Sten to tell Danish television that they will ask Chelsea for a January transfer if the situation does not change.
