Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has been backed to succeed at Bayern Munich.

Reports have claimed that the Denmark international will sign with Bayern as a free agent in the summer.

Christensen has reached an impasse with Chelsea over a potential extension and is now assessing his other options.

The 26-year-old has previous Bundesliga experience, having enjoyed a two-year loan with Borussia Monchengladbach.

And Christensen's former coach at Gladbach, Andre Schubert, thinks he can excel with the Bavarian giants.

He told Sky Germany: "He's an outstandingly good player and also a national player.

"So I think he has the prerequisites to be at an absolute Top club as Bayern Munich can claim.

"He is a central defender at a very, very high level."
