Ruben Loftus-Cheek appeared to bid farewell to Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge after he was substituted against Newcastle. The 27-year-old midfielder, who has been heavily linked with an exit recently, was replaced by Carney Chukwuemeka at the hour-mark and received a standing ovation from the home support.
As the fourth official punched his number into the interactive board, Loftus-Cheek began to make his way over to the dugout; he hugged Enzo Fernandez and Cesar Azpilicueta before clapping the fans. As the England international neared the touchline he turned around and gave a little wave, suggesting that he could leave this summer.
football.london understands that AC Milan have made contact with Chelsea over a potential move for Loftus-Cheek. The Cobham graduate sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire at the end of next season and, as of yet, there's been no official talks to renew his deal.
