The Danish defender first recalled his arrival at the English club when he was still a Cadet. “At the age of 16 I had to make a difficult decision: leave Denmark.

Last year, the achievement that I am most proud of as a player came when we raised the Champions League in Port. I was a child when I came to Chelsea With all the hopes and fears of a player starting his career, I am grateful to the entire club for making my dream come true. Having spent an incredible ten years at this club, I felt the time was right for a new start for me and my family.
