Chelsea Boss Maurizio Sarri Hits Back at Andreas Christensen Following Transfer Ultimatum

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has refused to take interest in the comments made by Andreas Christensen’s father which suggested the defender will push for a transfer should he remain on the periphery at Stamford Bridge.

Christensen, 22, has been overlooked by Sarri in the centre of defence in favour of Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz in the Premier League so far, ensuring the Dane has featured only in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.

It is a stark contrast to his time under Antonio Conte at Chelsea after racking up over 2,000 minutes of league action, and the defender has seemingly had enough after his agent and father, Sten, put a January move on the table should he continue to be omitted from the starting lineup.
