ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN has reportedly agreed a contract extension with Chelsea.
The defender, 25, is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
Now it is only a ‘matter of time’ before it is confirmed he will be staying at Stamford Bridge longer.
That is according to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano, who claims a new agreement has already been reached between the star and the Premier League side.
The Denmark international finally initially moved to Chelsea in 2013 but has only become a regular for them over the past two seasons.
However, the ace struggled for action since Thomas Tuchel arrived in West London and only made 27 appearances last term.
It had previously been claimed that the Blues were set to finalise an 'imminent' deal with the centre-half but no official announcement has yet been made.
Christensen has allegedly agreed upon a new £140,000-per-week contract.

And this latest update claims he has now penned that deal and committed his future to the club.
When quizzed on his future earlier this month, Christenen said: “It’s hard to say how things will end up. There is a lot of talk.
“I will not say too much, but I think it looks good. I am happy to be at Chelsea.”
Chelsea will be announcing the news of Christensen’s agreement in ‘due course’ as they aim to sort out the future of his teammate Antonio Rudiger.
The German international also becomes a free agent in June and a host of clubs are chasing his services.
