5 reasons why Andreas Christensen can become the best defender in the world 

#3 Aerial prowess

Christensen wins an aerial duel against Gabriel Jesus in a recent encounter

At 1.88 m, he isn't the tallest defender but Christensen is incredibly strong when challenging for the ball in the air.

He has an incredible leap, allowing him to get above many of the strikers that he comes up against. He is a leader when it comes to set-pieces and if he's involved in an aerial duel, he's most likely going to win it.

The youngster has won 66% of the aerial duels that he has been involved in this season. He is strong in defensive situations, but he is also dangerous when Chelsea have set-pieces.

He is very good at losing his marker inside the box, although he is yet to score for the Blues this season.
