Loftus-Cheek set to sign new £120k-a-week Chelsea deal

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is set to sign on a new contract worth around £120,000-a-week as Chelsea signal their faith in the midfielder.

The 23-year-old had begun to cement his place as a regular in the Blues' starting XI prior to a cruel injury blow that saw him rupture his Achilles tendon in a friendly match prior to the Europa League final.

The homegrown star had less than two years left on his £60,000-a-week contract but he will now double his pay in renewing his deal after breaking through into Maurizio Sarri's first team last season.
