Christensen eager to mark 10 years with Chelsea as CWC winner

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen is marking ten years with the club.

And the Dane says the ideal way to celebrate is to win the Club World Cup this week.

"I would have been very, very happy," he told chelseafc.com.

"I came the year Chelsea had won the Champions League the first time around and that was the feeling, that the goal for the club was to win it again, and at the age of 25 to have won the Champions League already is a massive thing and is one of my dreams that I wanted to achieve.

"To have done it so early, I am over the moon to have experienced that and am hungry to do it again.

"With the Club World Cup, I know how prestigious it is. Growing up in Denmark, it's not the one they speak about the most but I've realised since coming here it's a big deal, and it would be good to have that gold badge in the middle of the shirt."
