Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is reportedly furious with the club after being denied a loan move to either Monaco or Schalke 04 this month.

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is reportedly furious with the club after being denied a move abroad in the closing stages of the European transfer window.

The likes of Monaco and Schalke 04 have been linked with loan bids for the 22-year-old, but any deal must be completed before Friday's deadline.

Loftus-Cheek is eager to leave Chelsea on loan, having found himself down the pecking order once again at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Cesc Fabregas providing competition for places in midfield.

However, Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is understood to have blocked an exit for the England international - a move which has angered the player.

Loftus-Cheek is concerned that a lack of game time will affect his development and threaten his place in Gareth Southgate's squad, having earned a spot at the World Cup with a productive loan spell at Crystal Palace last season.

The midfielder came on as a sub for Chelsea during the opening-day victory over Huddersfield Town, but has since been left out of the squad against Arsenal and left on the bench against Newcastle United.
