Since returning from German club Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he spent two seasons on loan, Christensen has made 22 appearances for the Blues.

He has established himself as a first-team player, ousting the out-of-favour David Luiz from the side.

“It feels really good to sign a new contract and I’m just happy to be committed to Chelsea for the future,” Christensen told Chelsea’s website.

“I’ve played a lot of games, I’m enjoying it at the club and everything is working well.”
