Terry: Trust me. Andreas Christiansen is Chelsea's future

Chelsea skipper John Terry has revealed he's working closely with young Danish defender Andreas Christiansen. Christiansen is regarded among Europe's brightest young defenders, but is yet to make his Premier League debut.

Terry told TV2 Sport: "I've always told him that he must and will fight me - he must beat me out the team. He must be hungry to fight me.

"For me, Andreas is an incredible football player, and he's assured of his chance at Chelsea."

Terry is convinced Christiansen has a big future with Chelsea.

"Trust me: He is a top football player, and he will be a man of the future for Chelsea, I am sure. I talk to him every day, training with him and try to give him as much advice as I can."
