Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek will undergo a medical on Thursday ahead of his imminent move to AC Milan.
That is according to Daily Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath.
He has reported on Twitter this morning that Ruben Loftus-Cheek will have his medical tomorrow before completing a transfer to the San Siro.
“Ruben Loftus-Cheek to undergo medical at AC Milan tomorrow ahead of move from Chelsea,” McGrath said.
Journalist Matt Law reported on Twitter yesterday that Chelsea and Milan have come to a £15million agreement for Loftus-Cheek’s transfer.
It now sounds like a matter of time before the 27-year-old is officially unveiled at the San Siro.
Loftus-Cheek, who’s been on Chelsea’s books since the age of eight, is now prepared to leave his boyhood club.
The central midfielder’s had spells out on loan at Fulham and Crystal Palace in the past, but his switch to Italy will be his first move overseas.
Ally McCoist has explained this week he still believes Loftus-Cheek is a “terrific player”. He thinks the move to AC Milan could be fantastic for him, too.
The Englishman did play a useful role last season as a versatile option in Chelsea’s squad, but the club are clearly going about trimming down numbers during this window.
It’s certainly going to be interesting to see how Mauricio Pochettino’s side line up next season, especially in midfield.
They’re saying goodbye to the likes of Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante and Loftus-Cheek in the same summer.
