Christensen keeping his options open

CHELSEA defender Andreas Christensen is in no rush to decide his future and has refused to rule out remaining at Borussia Monchengladbach beyond the end of the season.

The Denmark international is starting the second year of a two-season loan deal at Monchengladbach from Chelsea and is eager to keep his options open.

He told Bild: “I have not yet decided what I am going to do.

Christensen is highly rated at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues reportedly rejecting a £14.5million offer from Monchengladbach to make his move permanent in the recently closed transfer window.

Andre Schubert’s side face the gruelling prospect of playing seven matches in a 22-day span starting from Saturday, a run that includes a Champions League trip to Manchester City next Tuesday, but Christensen is taking it in his stride.
