Thomas Tuchel says Andreas Christensen needs to be fully committed to Chelsea despite Barcelona speculation

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he won't accept anything less than 100 per cent commitment from Andreas Christensen as the Dane continues to be linked with a summer move to Barcelona. Christensen's contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of the season and there has been little indication that he is ready to stay.

Ad/> But Tuchel seems indifferent to the speculation and instead urged the 25-year-old to concentrate on the job at hand — even more so given the amount of noise already around the club relating to their ownership — as they battle for a top-four spot in the Premier League as well as back-to-back Champions League titles.

»Maybe he cleared his future, I don't know it yet, but for me it was very clear when I started, and the bottom line in conversations I had with him was that as long as you're my player I expect you to be 100 per cent committed and I will not accept anything less. «I will not start digging into how committed he is now; this only leads to distraction.

This is what I demand from him. He is our player and we want to have the most of him.
