Rudiger 'keen on new contract'
Whilst current Chelsea defender Alonso could soon be on the way out of Stamford Bridge, one man who does not want to follow him is centre-back Antonio Rudiger.
The German is out of contract next summer and could start negotiating with a foreign club as soon as January.
However, he is reportedly keen to sign a new deal in West London and remains committed to Thomas Tuchel’s men.
