5 potential destinations for Ruben Loftus-Cheek

#2 Borussia Dortmund

Favre has overseen a great start to the season

One of the giants of German football, Borrusia Dortmund, have a reputation for bringing through top class young players. Dortmund could be fundamentally the best place that Loftus-Cheek could be at this point of his career.

The central midfielder will be looking on watching the progress of Jadon Sancho establishing a career in Germany, this is what Loftus-Cheek could be doing.

Moving abroad to Dortmund escalated early on in the summer transfer window, and a move to bring the England international to Germany might re-ignite in January. Current manager Lucien Favre has a fantastic reputation when working with young players, building their confidence, allowing them room to make mistakes and to learn on the pitch.

His current Borussia Dortmund team are alerting the attention of everyone across Europe, especially after the resounding 4-0 victory over Spanish giants Athletico Madrid in the Champions League. They play fast attacking football, built on the platform that the more defensive minded midfielders provide.

The problem with a move to Dortmund would be the player is walking into yet another highly competitive team for places in their midfield. The German side boasts names such as Axel Witsel, Thomas Delaney, Julian Weigl and Mahmoud Dahoud to play in the two-man midfield of the 4-2-3-1 style. Could Loftus-Cheek fit into the front part of the pitch?

A move abroad would be fantastic for Loftus-Cheek, he certainly has the attributes to succeed. A move to Borussia Dortmund would be fantastic for the player, a massive club with a huge following of fans. It would be interesting to see if Dortmund might think they can lure the 9 times capped England star to Germany.
