Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel, has opened up on defender Antonio Rudiger\u2019s new contract situation at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Rudiger is yet to sign a new contract with Chelsea.<\/p>\n

His current deal with Chelsea will expire at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has continued to shine at the heart of the Chelsea defence under Tuchel, starting this season as strongly as he ended the last campaign.<\/p>\n

But Tuchel is now hoping a \u2018solution\u2019 can be found between the player and the club in terms of extending his stay at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that we find the solution, but it\u2019s not only about coaches and players and what we wish for,\u201d Tuchel was quoted by Chelsea\u2019s official website as saying at his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of the Blues\u2019 Premier League clash with Tottenham on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope they find a solution, but it is not only between coaches and players and what we wish for. It is between the club, the player and the agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been excellent, a very consistent player on a high level, calm and focused. Everything is in place, but sometimes players need a bit longer. It is nothing new from our side.\u201d<\/p>\n
