Andreas Christensen is set to almost double his wages with Chelsea.

The Blues centre-back is out of contract at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season and confirmed last month he was in talks to extend that deal.

The Sun says the new deal will see him earn £140,000 per week.

The Denmark international has become a first-team regular under Thomas Tuchel, playing the 90 minutes in five of the Blues' seven top-flight matches this season as well as figuring heavily in their run to Champions League glory last term.

He also made 27 appearances last season, fighting his way back into Tuchel's plans and resulting in Kurt Zouma being the defender who was sacrificed in the summer with his move to West Ham.
