Chelsea defender Rudiger: New contract talks my business alone

Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger insists new contract talks are his business alone.

Rudiger has confirmed he's currently discussing an extension with Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia and insists his situation is nobody's business.

Speaking to The Guardian, the defender said: "The most important thing is that I feel happy here. I think if people look at it, they can see I'm happy.

"About the contract situation, I talk with the club. This is for nobody's ears. It was how I said it would be after the Euros – there would be talks.

"There was a talk between Marina and my agent. We have the situation where we are at now and I have nothing to do with all the speculation.

"This is not in my mind. I'm focused on what I'm doing because this is why I wake up every morning."
