Ruben Loftus-Cheek has the potential to be an “amazing player” for Chelsea, says Blues legend Gianfranco Zola, with the midfielder needing to shake off niggling knocks and show what he can do.
When naming those he would have on said list, Zola told Sky Sports: "There's so many right now in the Premier League that are exciting to watch.
"The front players for Liverpool, many others. I like [James] Maddison a lot from Leicester, he's a player that has very good potential.
"I also like very much last year Ruben Loftus-Cheek. He's a player that, if he can recover his physical potential, he can be an amazing player. Players like [Eden] Hazard were special last year, he was unbelievable.
"There is one player that is a game-changer and that is [Kevin] De Bruyne for City. He knows how to do everything, he can set people up for an assist, he can score, he can defend, he can build the play. I think he's becoming an amazing player."
Loftus-Cheek had enjoyed a breakthrough season at Chelsea in 2018-19, with 40 appearances taken in across all competitions.
His chance with the Blues came after proving himself during a productive loan spell at Crystal Palace.
Frank Lampard would have been expected to give him game time this term, with the Blues having shown considerable faith in home-grown stars, but it remains to be seen whether minutes will be found whenever Premier League football resumes amid the coronavirus pandemic.

He offers a different dimensions that we need. If not for injury concerns he would be considered 1 of the best midfielders in the league. I feel like as long as he remains fit he is 1 of the best. But how long he remains fit is the problem. I feel for him cos tall players tend to be very injury prone in general due to the nature of their limbs which is why I've always seen 5ft 10 as the ideal height for a player.
