Ruben Loftus-Cheek has explained leaving Chelsea for AC Milan.

The England midfielder made the &euri;18m move last week and enjoyed his signing presentation yesterday.

"I love the club and the fans but I wasn't feeling content with the amount I was playing and the positions I was playing in," said Loftus-Cheek.

"I felt I had more to give but I wasn't getting the opportunity.

"I feel good physically and am playing some really good football. It was a good time to move on."

Loftus-Cheek is set to be joined at Milan by former Chelsea teammate Christian Pulisic.

He added: "He has huge talent.

"He is dynamic, quick and can score goals.

"In the lockdown period, under Frank Lampard, he was incredible and if he can reproduce that again, he would be a top addition to the team."
