It looks like Ruben Loftus-Cheek won't be joining Chelsea this window after talks with Milan collapsed. The midfielder was one of several names on their radar, but their attention now turns elsewhere after an agreement couldn't be reached. The club had hoped to wrap up a deal for the player in the coming days, but that now looks dead in the water. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will not join Chelsea - but interest from Brentford, Everton and Fulham could yet reignite. So far this season, Chelsea are steady at both ends (1.7 goals scored per game, 1.09 goals conceded per game). The role for Ruben Loftus-Cheek would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Milan have also been linked with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Dusan Vlahovic while Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Franco Mastantuono, Ibrahim Mbaye and Harry Maguire.
