Chelsea 'reject three bids for Andreas Christensen'

Chelsea have reportedly rejected three approaches for out-of-favour defender Andreas Christensen.

Christensen has struggled for first-team football this season, making just one Premier League start as manager Maurizio Sarri has preferred David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger as his two centre-backs.

The 22-year-old is understood to be on the radar of a number of top European clubs, including Juventus, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

All three have reportedly made approaches to determine the availability of Christensen before Thursday's transfer deadline, but the Evening Standard reports that Chelsea have rejected each of them.

Christensen is eager for more regular action at Chelsea but is thought to be willing to stay at the club until the end of the season in order to fight for his place.

The Denmark international made 40 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea last season.
