This month, Leicester City is allegedly looking to sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea.
According to author Simon Phillips, during the current January transfer window, Leicester has their eye on the 26-year-old Blues midfielder.
He asserts that Graham Potter’s team could be open to selling him if they can bring in a new midfielder.
“Also, be aware that Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a target for Leicester City this transfer window, and Chelsea may be willing to let him leave if they can sign another midfielder,” Phillips has claimed on hisΒ Substack.
It’s intriguing to learn that Leicester is circling Loftus-Cheek at this time.
Prior to sustaining a knee injury, the Chelsea central midfielder was seeing frequent action during the first half of the season. He has actually participated in 20 of the team’s 27 games so far this season.
Although it was wonderful to see him back on the bench during Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace, is he still in Potter’s future plans?
He undoubtedly contributes significantly to the team with his adaptability, which the Chelsea head coach adores.
The midfield behemoth, though, has never really taken off to the kinds of heights that were anticipated of him.
Loftus-Cheek would actually be a good signing for Leicester.
Leicester supporters would undoubtedly like him because, when in the right frame of mind, he can be a physical force both offensively and defensively.
Last month, Simon Phillips wrote that Loftus-Cheek desired to remain at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea will soon need to make a choice regarding the center midfielder’s future because his contract expires in 2024.
