Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has confirmed he doesn't want to loan out Ruben Loftus-Cheek this month.

Antonio Conte will block any loan move for the midfielder following Oscar and John Obi Mikel's exits to China.

"Ruben is an important player for Chelsea," Conte told talkSPORT.

"No, No. Absolutely [he's not leaving]. I don't want this. For Ruben I don't want this."

Watford, Middlesbrough, West Ham, Newcastle and Swansea have all been linked with a move for the England Under-21 international.
