Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is prepared to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

The 22-year-old midfielder reckons he's only in England's World Cup squad because of his successful loan spell at Crystal Palace.

And he's vowed after playing 24 Premier League games at Palace last season he's realised his career will only continue to develop if he's playing regular games.

“Going forward I've really realised the importance of playing regularly for my own progress and development" says Loftus-Cheek who helped Palace stave off relegation under boss Roy Hodgson.

“I felt like I got better and better every game at Palace so playing regularly is the key going forward and that will help me make my decision after the World Cup."
