Andreas Bødtker Christensen (born 10 April 1996) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a defender for German club Borussia Mönchengladbach on loan from English club Chelsea. He also plays for the Denmark national team.
Born in Blovstrød, Denmark, the son of former Brøndby IF goalkeeper Sten Christensen, he began his career with Brøndby IF. He spent eight years there, attracting the interest of Europe's elite clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. On 7 February 2012, Christensen signed for Chelsea on a free transfer, near the end of André Villas-Boas' tenure as the club's manager. Upon joining the London side, Christensen said: "I have chosen Chelsea because they play the kind of football I like.”
Christensen was first included in a Chelsea senior squad for their last game of the 2012–13 season on 19 May 2013, but did not feature in the match, which ended a 2–1 home win over Everton in Rafael Benítez's last match as manager. In the pre-season tour of the United States before the 2013–14 season, he was part of the senior team squad and signed a professional contract thereafter.
He made his professional debut on 28 October 2014, playing the full 90 minutes at right-back as Chelsea won 2–1 away to Shrewsbury Town in the fourth round of the League Cup. Christensen did not play again until 24 January 2015, when he was utilized in the same position for Chelsea's 2–4 home defeat to League One club Bradford City in the FA Cup fourth round.
