Antonio Rudiger had complained that he was subjected to monkey chants in Chelsea's 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur on December 22.

Chelsea's 2-0 Premier League win at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium saw referee Anthony Taylor halt play during the second half when Rudiger complained of hearing monkey noises from spectators.

Antonio Rudiger is Chelsea's second signing of the close season though the first to cost any money. Willy Caballero joined the London giants on a free transfer following his release from rivals Manchester City.
