Chelsea defender and Germany international Antonio Rudiger has been advised against joining Newcastle United.

This is according to former football star Glenn Johnson, who said the Blues defender would regret it if he left Stamford Bridge to join the Magpies.

Johnson urged Rudiger to remain at Chelsea, adding that if he goes to Newcastle at the end of the season, it would be for the wrong reasons.

Rudiger’s contract with the Blues will expire at the end of the season, and there has reportedly been no progress over an extension.

So far, the German defender has been linked with moves to Newcastle, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Man United, Juventus, among others.

Speaking to BettingOdds, Johnson was asked about Rudiger’s contract situation and whether he thought it would be the right choice for the centre-back to join Newcastle, He said: “Yes, I do think it would be a mistake. Without being disrespectful, there would be only one reason why Antonio Rüdiger would be going to Newcastle.

“I think he’s still got a lot to offer. If you are still fighting for titles and going deep in most competitions, why would you look to leave? He’s obviously earning good money now.

“That will continue. No, if he goes to Newcastle right now, it would be for the wrong reasons.”
