Now the club's Sporting Director Max Eberl has confirmed he wishes to turn the move into a permanent transfer - in a similar scenario to what they did with Thorgan Hazard last summer.

Eberl said "Our intention is to try and get into talks with Chelsea in the summer. Andreas fulfils everything we've seen in him. And we are delighted that we were able to take him on loan without any ifs and buts."

Christensen, who signed a new five-year deal with the Blues last year, said "I am very happy. I will give it my best in the two years here, and see what the future has in store for me. It's of no use to return [to Chelsea] if I don't get any playing time there. A lot can happen."

Chelsea are hoping the Danish defender returns from the Bundesliga with a wealth of experience under his belt and that he will be able to push for a place in the first-team squad especially as the futures of Gary Cahill and John Terry at Stamford Bridge are unclear.
