5 potential destinations for Ruben Loftus-Cheek

#3 Tottenham

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Danny Rose know each other from the England squad

This could be considered a controversial possibility, but the argument for this move would make sense for both the player and the club. Mauricio Pochettino has a set style of football, and this Tottenham team under his management have developed and improved year after year.

Despite not making any transfers in the summer, Pochettino will have been casting an eye over players who could improve this team, surely Loftus-Cheek would be a player that he would see as doing this.

Loftus-Cheek would join quite a list of English players at the club and would know these guys from being around the England squad. He would fit into this Tottenham team effortlessly, especially centrally, and when you consider that Belgian international Moussa Dembele could leave the club come the summer, the role he leaves looks made for Loftus-Cheek.

To sit alongside a holding midfielder in Eric Dier, he would have the freedom to express himself and his ability on the ball, at the same time he would develop in terms of his ability in the defensive transition of the game.

He would get games at the highest level playing alongside the quality of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Lucas Moura and his England captain Harry Kane.

A move to Tottenham would have to be a long-term decision by the Chelsea-man, but this would be the move, should the opportunity arise, that would cement the development of Loftus-Cheek.

Obviously moving from Stamford Bridge to a London rival would not be easy on the player, but to work under Pochettino and with this group of Tottenham players, it would be a great move for both the player and the club.
