Ruben Loftus-Cheek said Chelsea players have not been content with their recent results and are eager to get back to winning ways with the help of new signings.
Loftus-Cheek is one of several Chelsea players whose future at Stamford Bridge are in doubt following the arrival of new signings at the club.
Academy graduates, in particular, are arguably the most profitable asset a club can sell to balance the books.
This is something to worry about at the end of the season, however, and for now, everyone on the team should focus on this season’s objectives.
Loftus-Cheek believes the new players are key to achieving these targets.
“I’ve never had this kind of feeling before with so many new players coming in,” the England international told Chelsea’s official website.
“We need to embrace it; it’s happened for the better.
“The quicker we can get these boys to settle in and gel, the quicker we can start performing better.
“But believe me, we’re not taking these draws and losses and that’s it. We’re hurt when we lose or draw.
“We’re taking every necessary step to win.”
Chelsea have 18 Premier League matches to try to close the 10-point gap to the top four while competing in the Champions League.
It is certainly not impossible, but considering they had just two wins in the last 13 matches, it does not seem to be a realistic target, either.
