Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek will reportedly look to secure a loan move away from Stamford Bridge if he is not given assurances over his playing time.

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is reportedly contemplating a loan move away from Stamford Bridge.

Loftus-Cheek is back at Chelsea after a successful loan period at Crystal Palace and having represented England at the World Cup, but the 22-year-old still appears to be down the pecking order at the West Londoners.

Reports have previously suggested that Loftus-Cheek is prepared to fight for his first-team place, but being dropped from the squad to face Arsenal last weekend appears to have changed the situation.

According to The Times, the playmaker is prepared to consider a temporary switch to either Spain, Germany or Italy if head coach Maurizio Sarri does not give assurances over his playing time during the first half of the campaign.

Loftus-Cheek - who has three years remaining on his contract - has only made 35 starts in his domestic career, despite having won eight caps for the England senior team.
