Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek on verge of joining AC Milan

AC Milan are close to completing a deal with Chelsea to acquire the services of wantaway midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to reports.

Loftus-Cheek is unhappy at the Blues with a lack of regular first-team football and is being looked at by Milan to fill the void left by midfielder Sandro Tonali, who is on the verge of joining Newcastle United.

The England midfielder's contract expires at the end of next season and the West Londoners would be wise to cash in on the 27-year-old or risk losing him on a free transfer when his contract comes to an end.

Milan have long been linked with a move for Loftus-Cheek and the Englishman is finally expected to leave Chelsea, having just one year left on his contract in West London.

Loftus-Cheek has long been linked with the Rossoneri and his asking price has reportedly been set at ‚¬15m by the Chelsea bosses.
