Andreas Christensen breaks silence following his Chelsea departure as he sends an emotional message

Andreas Christensen has taken to Instagram to send a message as he leaves Chelsea upon the expiry of his contract with the club.

Christensen joined the Blues in 2015. He has overall made 160 appearances for the Premier League side in which he has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists.

Taking to Instagram, the 26-year-old defender panned a long emotional message.

He wrote: "THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. I had a tough decision to make at the age of 16 to leave Denmark. There was only ever one choice for me and that was Chelsea. From the moment I arrived they made me feel at home, I’m grateful to Jim Fraser and Neil Bath who immediately embraced me as part of their family. Some of my proudest moments at the club were when we won FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League.

"Those were a special group of young players that I was proud to have as teammates. Last year was my proudest achievement as a player and team when we lifted the Champions League in Porto. I was a young boy at Chelsea with all the hopes and fears of a player starting his career, I’m grateful to the whole club for making my dream come true. Having spent ten amazing years at this club, I felt now was the right time for a new beginning for me and my family.

"Mentally the last few months have been tough as it’s not been an easy decision to leave this club and the fans. I’m not the most talkative person so sometimes people don’t understand how much the club and the fans mean to me. I will miss the players, staff and everyone here. I wish the best for the club and the fans in the future."
