Why Chelsea shouldn’t let go of Ruben Loftus-Cheek amidst Milan interests?

According to a report in Daily Star (h/t Tuttosport), Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is wanted by Italian club AC Milan when the January window opens. The Serie A side are also interested in another Blues midfielder Cesc Fabregas, whose contract runs out at the end of this season.

Loftus-Cheek has struggled to get regular game time on the pitch and new manager Maurizio Sarri is content with giving the young Englishman the chances to shine in the cup games.

However, despite not being able to break into the starting line-up for the league games, the 22-year-old has been doing well whenever the opportunities have arrived.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is the future of the club

As mentioned above, Sarri hasn’t yet used Loftus-Cheek regularly in the league games. The Englishman has started only one Premier League match this season and has came off the bench on five occasions. In that short window of opportunity, the midfielder has scored three goals and been a game changer with his direct approach on and off the ball in the final third.

If we look at the Chelsea squad, central midfield is where they can be short if the 22-year-old leaves the club. Cesc Fabregas is way past his prime, while Mateo Kovacic is a loanee from Real Madrid and he would go back to the Spanish capital once the season gets over.
