Former Chelsea player Ruben Loftus-Cheek has spoken regarding his time at the Stamford Bridge club.

The 27-year-old was not too pleased at the position where he was played towards the end of his Blues career.

Loftus-Cheek, who came through the club's academy, was asked to play as a wing-back before eventually joining AC Milan in the summer.

I've played in many roles throughout my career," Loftus-Cheek told DAZN.

In the last two years mostly in a defensive position, and it wasn't natural for me.

I've always liked having the ball at my feet, having the freedom to create, to be decisive. I couldn't do that in the last two seasons, that way of playing didn't make me happy.

Now, I play in a position where I have more freedom, so I feel good."
