Antonio Rudiger makes classy Chelsea goodbye gesture ahead of Real Madrid transfer exit

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has visited patients and staff of a local hospital ahead of his summer exit from the club. The Germany international was a regular visitor and supporter of the hospital during his time in West London.

The 29-year-old has spent five-years with the Blues, joining from AS Roma in 2017 for roughly £30million. While the early half of his career at Stamford Bridge was a struggle, he flourished under Thomas Tuchel.

Playing in a back three, the centre-back could be aggressive in the press, with adequate cover behind him. Rudiger was one of a number of key players in the system that saw the side roar on towards an unlikely Champions League victory.
