Former Danish international Niki Zimling has hailed the Euros campaign of Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen.

Zimling praised the Blues centre-back for his defensive performances for club and country this season.

"I think he has shown in his games for Chelsea that he is a mature player," he told Goal.

"He is still young but he plays like he has been doing it forever."

Christensen showed his versatility against Wales when he was deployed into midfield to man-mark Aaron Ramsey.

Throughout the game, the Dane kept the midfielder quiet as his side triumphed into the next round. Denmark will meet Czech Republic in the quarter-final.

"You don't sense nerves of panic when he is on the ball," Zimling continued. "He looks in great shape."
