Ex-Dutch star Bruggink slams Chelsea over Loftus-Cheek treatment

Former Holland international Arnold Bruggink has blasted Chelsea over their youth policy.

Bruggink can't believe the way Chelsea management has treated Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

He wrote for Voetbal International: "Loftus-Cheek was only eighteen years old when he made his debut for Chelsea in the Champions League at the end of 2014.

"He is now 21 and he had exactly thirty minutes last season in the Premier League. I find it tragic that such a talent for more than two years is treated like that.

"Loftus-Cheek is a central midfielder who with every top Dutch club would not be out of place."
