CONTRACT RENEWAL: Ashley Cole backs Chelsea to renew Rudiger's deal

Ex-Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole has shared his thoughts on Antonio Rudiger's contract situation. According to Cole, Chelsea would be stupid if they fail to give Antonio Rudiger his desired contract deal. For the time being, Rudiger's stay at Chelsea has been under a lot of speculations. Particularly after he refused the initial contract offered him by the London side with Real Madrid, PSG and FC Bayern Munich looking to snatch him off at the slightest opportunity.

Rudiger keeps performing

Amid the recent uncertainties over his future, Rudiger's performances have been far from inconsistent. The German was once again on the scoresheet as Chelsea dumped Tottenham out of the Carabao Cup. Ever since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, Rudiger has grown into a regular starter for the German coach. So much so that his contract situation has had nothing on his consistency.

Ashley Cole's view

Considering how outstanding Rudiger has been in the Chelsea defense, Ashley Cole has shared his view on the German's contract situation as was earlier noted, the Chelsea legend tagged Rudiger as an important member of the squad and he urges the executives at Stamford Bridge to do have to do all they can to keep the defender.

The statements of Ashley Cole are very true but it remains to see if the Chelsea executives would take action concerning Rudiger's contract situation.
