Roma defender Antonio Rudiger is aware of Chelsea interest.

On-loan from Stuttgart, Rudiger has been linked with Chelsea after an impressive first campaign in Italy.

He told WAZ: "My first year in Serie A was good. Unfortunately we were unable to reach the second place but overall the season has been positive.

"Differences with the Bundesliga? Mainly tactical.

"My future? I am currently a Roma player, I'm happy at this club. Then you never know what can happen in football. And maybe the same club can think of something else or something can happen after the Euros.

"Chelsea? This is talk I've felt for three years. I repeat, in Rome I am very well."
