Ruben Loftus Cheek eye Chelsea FC exit following Jose Mourinho snub

19-year-old Ruben Loftus Cheek is expected to break into Jose Mourinho's plans this season after making his debut at the tail end of the last campaign but has found playing time limited.

He has played only 62 minutes of Premier League football so far this term as well as one appearance in both the Capital One Cup and Champions League.

Loftus-Cheek has not featured since the win over Aston Villa on October 17 and The Times report he is exploring the possibility of a loan move after Mourinho backtracked on a promise to give him a lengthy run in the side after the defeat to Southampton last month.

The England Under-21 international is attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League, Championship and on the continent but it remains to be seen whether Mourinho will allow him to leave Stamford Bridge.

"I want to keep him because he needs to improve a lot," Mourinho said in the summer.
"And I think the best way for him to improve is to be working with us every day, even if he doesn't play much.
"In this moment, he is far from being in condition to play for us."

Should Loftus-Cheek be allowed to leave temporarily, he would add to the 33 Chelsea players currently out on loan.

Manchester United are favourites to sign Chelsea's 19-year-old wonderkid Charly Musonda, according to reports.

Foot Mercato reports the Chelsea youngster is getting frustrated with his lack of playing time at Stamford Bridge and is looking to go elsewhere.
