Serie A outfit keen on landing Chelsea graduate

Loftus-Cheek wanted by Lazio

Lazio have their sights on landing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek this summer, Gazzetta dello Sport claims.



The England star has struggled for regular minutes at the west London giants, and could be sold in the next transfer window.

Loftus-Cheek has offers from multiple Premier League sides, but reports claim that Lazio could lure him to the Italian top-flight.

Maurizio Sarri brought the best out of Loftus-Cheek when he was the Blues manager, but the midfielder has not quite carried on.

Loftus-Cheek suffered a serious Achilles injury towards the end of Sarri's one-year stint. He has since struggled for game time.

The Blues graduate has started the last two matches at right wing-back, but he would ideally prefer to play at the heart of the midfield.

Southampton and West Ham United are among clubs interested in signing him if he desires to continue in the Premier League next term.

Chelsea are likely to demand around £25m to sanction his sale this summer.
