Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek emerges as key part in Man Utd midfield transfer chase

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been linked with a move away from the club this summer - and could play a significant role in Manchester United's transfer plans.

The 26-year-old has been in and out of the Chelsea team this season, making 37 appearances across all competitions. However, he has started just 13 games in the Premier League. Now, according to Corriere dello Sport, Lazio are reportedly interested in a move for Loftus-Cheek, adding that they know boss Maurizio Sarri 'would like' to sign him.

With the Blues' future uncertain following the proposed takeover of the club, Chelsea could be prepared to sell some of their assets in order to rebuild after a difficult few months. Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christiansen and Cesar Azpilicueta are all out of contract, while a number of other stars may decide to leave.
