Ruben Loftus-Cheek has a big future... but he may have to leave Chelsea to be the main man, says Trevor Sinclair

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been tipped for a 'big future', but may have to leave Stamford Bridge in order to fully reach his potential, according to former England international Trevor Sinclair.

Antonio Conte made nine changes to his starting line-up as the Premier League leaders recorded a convincing 4-0 win over Brentford in the FA Cup fourth-round on Saturday.

The Blues had far too much for their Championship opponents as first-half goals from Willian and Pedro were added to by Branislav Ivanovic and Michy Batshuayi strikes in the second period.

One of the highlights of such a comfortable win was the display of Loftus-Cheek, who again showed precisely why he has been tipped by many within the walls of Stamford Bridge to have a bright future in the game.
