Chelsea set to send Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan next season with Premier League clubs circling

Ruben Loftus-Cheek looks set to be sent out on loan next season to satisfy the Chelsea starlet’s aim for first-team football.

The 21-year-old is attracting interest from several Premier League sides including Stoke, who looked at him in January. Championship promotion chasers Brighton are also an option.

He is understood to be on north of £50,000 a week at Chelsea and Loftus-Cheek would have to consider a pay-cut if sold permanently, leaving a loan the likeliest option.

Likewise the west London club would not want to sell a young talent they have high hopes for.
