Antonio Rudiger has revealed he is not in negotiations with Chelsea over a contract extension at the club.
There had been reports that Rudiger was in talks with the Blues over a new deal, but the German centre-back has insisted he is happy with the current terms in his deal.
The 25-year-old signed from AS Roma in 2017 and still has just under four years left on his existing deal.
When asked if he is in talks with the Blues over a new and improved deal, Rudiger replied: "That's not the case, to be honest.
"There's no need, because I still have three-and-a-half years to go. There's no speaking between me and the club.
"It's also not necessary at the moment either with three-and-a-half years to go."
Chelsea won at Brighton at the weekend, and Eden Hazard scored his first goal in 12 games, as well as setting up one for the Blues at the Amex.
Rudiger has insisted that Hazard is just as happy creating chances as he is scoring them.
"He doesn't have too much of an ego, so if he sees someone in a better position he plays them in, and that's fair enough," Rudiger added.
"The way he's playing is fantastic. We all know what he's capable of and I'm happy for him. Every position he plays he makes a statement, he's strong.
"He's really doing a fantastic job. He's a leader, he's a good example, not by speaking, but by doing, so he's very good."
