Young Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has stated his desire to play for the first team in the coming years.
The 20-year-old is set for a second season on loan at German Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach for whom he will play UEFA Champions League football this season.
Christensen has come through the Blues’ academy to be one of the top young talents at Stamford Bridge. His long-term future with Antonio Conte’s side could come down to his performances this season in Germany.
His solid performances at centre-back last season helped Borussia Mönchengladbach to a fourth-place finish and the qualifying rounds of the Champions League next month.
