The midfielder has impressed for Chelsea this season, but has struggled to hold down a regular spot under Maurizio Sarri
Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has backed team-mate Ruben Loftus-Cheek to become ‘one of the best midfielders in the country’.
The 22-year-old is enjoying a productive campaign at Stamford Bridge and has netted five goals in his last six games, with his latest coming in Sunday’s 2-0 win against Fulham .
Yet, despite his fantastic from when he has played this season, Loftus-Cheek is yet to start a game in the Premier League so far in 2018-19 due to the fierce competition in the Blues’ midfield.
