Inter Milan are stepping up interest for Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Lazio have been linked with the England international.

But Il Corriere dello Sport says Inter now want Loftus-Cheek.

With midfielder Roberto Gagliardini requesting to leave the club unless his game time increases, they are looking for alternatives.

Loftus-Cheek and Salernitana's Brazilian star Ederson are said to be options.

Inter chief Piero Ausilio is in London this weekend for transfer talks.
