#3 Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Belgium v England: 3rd Place Playoff - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Loftus-Cheek had a huge role to play for Crystal Palace last season

The 22-year-old English midfielder joined the Chelsea youth ranks at the early age of eight and has since impressed with his talents around the pitch.

Loftus-Cheek made his senior debut for the London club in 2014 coming on as a substitute in a Champions League game for Cesc Fabregas.

Since then, appearances for Chelsea have been few and far between, only making reaching the pitch 22 times since 2014.

The 2017/18 season saw Loftus-Cheek star for Crystal Palace as he helped them secure their position in the Premier League with an 11th place finish.

His performances earned him a call-up to the England World Cup squad where, when giving the chance, he performed above expectations while coming on as a sub or starting.

After a career-best year in 2018, it is still extremely hard for Loftus-Cheek to crack into the first team at Chelsea so whether another loan deal is to come or perhaps a permanent move away we will have to wait and see.
