Pundit Don Hutchinson has claimed that he believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek has made the right decision by leaving Chelsea.
He took to Twitter to praise the fact that the England international has elected to move abroad in order to try and maximise his potential.
It has been claimed that Loftus-Cheek has already undergone a medical ahead of a potential move to AC Milan in the coming days.
The move will see the Blues part ways with another academy graduate, who has spent more than half of his life associated with the club.
He also featured a lot last season, and played an important role due to his versatility.
While also featuring regularly as a central midfielder, he was utilised to deputise for Reece James when he was injured.
Loftus-Cheek’s ability going forwards was noticed as the best possible replacement for the 23-year-old, despite the fact that club captain Cesar Azpilicueta was also available.

However, it was expected that last season would be his final one at the club, with them needing to sell in order to raise funds for this summer.
Hutchinson has now claimed that he believes it will be a great move for the England international.
He said: “Good on him. Could have stayed in his comfort zone and stayed in the prem. Very envious of the lads now going over to Serie A.
“Great move for him. Now outside his comfort zone. Gigantic club, new language new city etc.”
The player has been one of a large number of players whose departures from Stamford Bridge have already been announced.
Yesterday saw an official report state that Kai Havertz had completed his big-money move across the capital to Arsenal.
