Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen is reportedly being eyed by Italian giants Juventus.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Serie A club are plotting a raid for the 22-year-old.
It is understood that Juventus consider the Chelsea centre-back the ideal replacement for Medhi Benatia, who is expected to depart in January.
Christensen has not enjoyed the best of seasons so far at Stamford Bridge, but some kind comments from Maurizio Sarri and increased game time suggests he is beginning to win his manager over.
The Denmark international is an extremely talented defender that many feel can become a long-term solution in the heart of the Blues defence.
It’s crucial that Chelsea ensure Christensen is happy with them and he would undoubtably go down as a missed opportunity if he was to exit the club.
Chelsea’s favoured centre-back pair David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger have been solid as a partnership, but the games are piling up in the second half of the season and Christensen needs to grab every opportunity thrown his way.
He is still a rising star developing his game and Sarri can help mould him into the type of defender he wants.
Interest from Champions League club Juventus would surely flatter Christensen, but Chelsea will hope they are back in Europe’s elite club competition next season.
