# The future: 89% of polled Chelsea fans think 23-year-old is the perfect Christensen partner

***The Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern are [intrigued by reports from Alfredo Pedulla](https://www.alfredopedulla.com/esclusiva-rugani-al-chelsea-manolas/) indicating that Chelsea are keen on Juventus defender Daniele Rugani.***

Though Chelsea are blessed with some decent defenders, the 23-year-old is an incredibly bright talent, and he’s clearly highly-rated at Juventus, having made over 20 league appearances last term.

[We recently made the case that he’d be the perfect player to line up alongside Andreas Christensen next season.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premiership/perfect-alongside-christensen-chelsea-would-have-long-term-defensive-option-in-23-year-old/) Christensen became a Chelsea regular last term, and he earned his stripes as one of Europe’s best young defenders. Perhaps Rugani, then, could form a brilliant partnership with him if he’s signed.

Clearly, Chelsea fans are very behind the prospect of a deal, particularly with Christensen in mind.

We asked fans whether Rugani would be the perfect partner for Christensen, and a whopping 89% of fans are in agreement that he would.

Of course, at just 23-years-old, Rugani has his best years ahead of him just like Christensen, and the prospect of them both getting better whilst playing alongside one another should be a worrying thought for opposition fans.

They’d compliment each other well, and they’d be the long-term solution that Chelsea will likely want.
