After returning from German side Borussia Monchengladbach, where he spent two campaigns on loan, Christensen has proved himself in Chelsea’s three-man defence at the expense of David Luiz.
The new deal will keep the Denmark international at Stamford Bridge until 2022, after originally signing with the West Londoners in 2012.
“It feels perfect to sign a new contract, and I’m just happy to be committed to Chelsea for the future, I’ve played a lot of games, I’m enjoying it at the club, and everything is working well.” – Christensen told the club website.
The centre-back has made a total of 25 first-team matches for Chelsea since his move from Danish giants Brondby five-and-a-half campaigns ago.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have reportedly ruled out letting midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek go to Crystal Palace once his loan with the Eagles ends.
Loftus-Cheek, who moved to Palace in a season-long stint from the West Londoners, had played just 14 starts for Chelsea before the temporary agreement.
As reported by the Evening Standard, however, the 21-year-old stays an essential consideration in Antonio Conte’s tactics at Stamford Bridge from next season.
Chelsea earlier signed fellow midfielder Ross Barkley from Everton, and despite Conte already owning the likes of N’Golo Kante, Cesc Fabregas and Danny Drinkwater in midfield, the story says that the Italian has plans to include Loftus-Cheek in his team.
The Englishman, who has impressed while at Selhurst Park, was given two senior Three Lions caps by head coach Gareth Southgate in November internationals against Germany and Brazil.
