Ruben Loftus-Cheek is ready to leave Chelsea in January.

The Daily Mail says Loftus-Cheek will ask to leave Chelsea on loan in January after seeing his gamble to stay at Stamford Bridge backfire under new manager Maurizio Sarri.

Now the 22-year-old acknowledges he will have to move again to force his way back into the international picture, following a successful loan spell last season at Crystal Palace.

Palace will again be interested in the midfielder's services in January but could face competition on this occasion from Everton.

Arsenal would also be contenders if they sell Aaron Ramsey in the next window.
