Chelsea reportedly agree terms with Andreas Christensen on a new four-year contract, with the option of another year on top of that.

Chelsea are reportedly close to agreeing a new four-year contract with centre-back Andreas Christensen.

The 25-year-old is now in the final 12 months of his current deal, but Chelsea have been in talks over an extension for around two months as they look to tie him down long term.

Goal reports that Christensen has now agreed terms on a four-year deal, which includes an option for the club to extend that by a further year.

The Denmark international will earn a 'significant' pay rise in the contract, which could keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2026.

A number of other clubs were thought to be interested in signing Christensen, but he is now set to commit his long-term future to the Champions League winners.

Christensen joined Chelsea as a youth player in 2012 and has gone on to make 130 first-team appearances for the club.
