When Mauricio Pochettino arrived at Chelsea, one player who was quickly shown the exit door despite being at the club for many years was Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
The midfielder has never managed to fully become a regular starter under the various manager that have come and gone at Stamford Bridge, and with a need for incoming funds, the Blues cut ties by selling him to AC Milan, much like they did with Christian Pulisic.
Corriere dello Sport cover his first few months with the Serie A side, and are already fairly sure that the England international could eventually make Chelsea ‘regret’ his sale.
The departure of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle left a big gap in Stefano Pioli’s side, and there was a decision made to change tactics compared to last year.
However, the arrival from Chelsea has ‘perfectly integrated’ into his new manager’s plans, having already racked up ‘three excellent performances and two assists’.
The belief is that this is ‘just the beginning’ for the 27-year-old, who is determined to prove his worth by playing regularly, with an aim to returning to the England national team and adding to his 10 caps.
At Chelsea since 2004, Loftus-Cheek played for the Blues 155 times over the course of his career, picking up 13 goals and assisting his teammates 18 times.
