Chelsea and Italian giants AC Milan are in transfer negotiations.

The two clubs have agreed an £18 million deal for Blues midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The attacking midfielder is heading to Italy, per football.london, as he looks to rebuild his career.

Loftus-Cheek has 12 months remaining on his deal at Chelsea, which means they had to cash in on him this summer.

The Lewisham-born midfielder will be the second Chelsea youth product at Milan.

He will join his old teammate Fikayo Tomori, who has earned rave reviews for his Serie A displays.
