Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger says he'll until after the Euros to enter new contract talks.

Rudiger, who is approaching the final 12 months of his contract, has enjoyed a big revival at Chelsea since Thomas Tuchel took over after becoming surplus to requirements under former boss Frank Lampard.

Tuchel recently said: "Nothing is better than what he is doing for a new contract. If he wants to have a new contract he has our full support to stay at the club. He is speaking with his performances. He has been amazing since day one."

And now responding to Tuchel's comments, Rudiger told Kicker: "That's nice and I'm happy too.

"You always make your decisions to some extent dependent on the coaching staff, but in the long term you can never rely on them anyway.

"After the European Championships, we can talk."
