Chelsea have announced that Ruben Loftus-Cheek has joined AC Milan on a permanent transfer.
The 27-year-old moves to Italy after a 19 year association with the club, 155 senior matches and five major trophies. Having joined the Cobham academy he now becomes the fifth player to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Loftus-Cheek had just 12 months left on his contract in west London with no sign of an extension and will now be seeking more first team opportunities after starting just 19 league games last season. He now moves to AC Milan and will team up with former Blues friends Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud.
