Roma manager Jose Mourinho is lining up a January move for Ruben Loftus-Cheek with the Chelsea star high on his list of midfield targets, according to reports in Italy.
The Portuguese boss has endured a mixed start to life in the Italian capital so far and a 2-0 win over Spezia on Monday saw his side move into sixth place in Serie A after losing their previous two league matches.
Now he's planning for the January transfer window and has identified Loftus-Cheek as a target as he plots a raid of his former club in a bid to bolster his midfield ranks.
