Christensen told to ‘walk the talk’ and sign Chelsea deal
Thomas Tuchel has reiterated that he believes Andreas Christensen will soon sign a new contract at Chelsea – but says it’s time for him to “walk the talk” and commit his future to the club.
The Blues boss recently indicated that Christensen will soon put pen to paper.
And he remains convinced that the Danish defender’s future is close to being resolved.
Christensen’s current contract expires at the end of the season.
“My understanding was that it is a matter of a very short period that we have good news,” Tuchel said.
“I said this in the national break, that for me it is a matter of days that we think that we can have good news about Andreas.
“As I understand it, the club want the same, and so do the coach and player. That is to stay.”
But Tuchel added that it is ultimately up to Christensen and his representatives to ensure the deal gets gone.
He explained: “We have been waiting since a long time now for confirmation and it is on Andreas to act how he acts on the pitch.
“He needs to act now off the pitch and walk the talk because he tells us he loves Chelsea and that he wants to stay.”
