Andreas Christensen 'reaches agreement to extend Chelsea contract beyond the end of the season... with defender set to earn £140,000 per week' having become a regular fixture in Thomas Tuchel's side

Andreas Christensen has reportedly agreed a new deal to stay at Chelsea which will see him nearly double his wages.

The Blues centre-back is out of contract at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season and but confirmed last month he was in talks to extend that deal.

The Sun claimed last month Christensen was close to signing a deal worth £120,000 per week after he was initially offered lower wages than the current £78,000 he currently takes home each week.

But now The Guardian journalist Fabrizio Romano claims it is a matter of time until the paperwork is signed by the 25-year-old, once final clauses in the deal are agreed.
