Andreas Christensen: Chelsea decline to comment on allegations of illegal payments to defender’s father
Chelsea have decided not to comment on the allegation of illegal payments made to the father of defender Andreas Christensen.Reports in Danish publication Politiken published details about Christensen’s move to London in 2012, which were obtained through Football Leaks.2

Christensen’s father has firmly denied the accusations

It is claimed Sten Christensen joined the Premier League clubas a talent scout on the same day his son signed for the Blues, which was July 1, 2012, the opening day of the transfer window following his 16th birthday.It is alleged Christensen senior received monthly payments of 11,400, plus VAT, over four years. The total paid was more than 600,000, it is claimed.Politiken reports Sten Christensen remained as goalkeeper coach with Brondby and says there is no evidence he did any scouting for Chelsea in that period.Payments or inducements to family members of young players are prohibited by FIFA, UEFA and Premier League regulations, something Everton were deemed to fall foul of recently.As a result, the Toffees were hit with a 500,000 fine.2
