Chelsea want to cut Andreas Christensen's loan deal short prematurely and make him part of their first team next season.

Denmark centre-back Christensen, 19, is on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach. He joined on a two-year deal last summer after signing a new Chelsea contract until 2020.

But the Blues want him back after just a year and are planning talks with the Bundesliga side about bringing an early end to the agreement.

He has made 31 appearances for fourth-placed Monchengladach, including five in the Champions League, and convinced Chelsea staff he is ready to be part of their first-team setup next season.

Chelsea's plans will be a blow for Monchengladbach who hoped to sign Christensen permanently at the end of the season.
