Chelsea boss Graham Potter is an admirer of midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The all-action midfielder has featured heavily since Potter's arrival at the club to replace Thomas Tuchel.

However, he has used the midfielder in various positions, even giving him a game in a wing-back position.

Asked about Loftus-Cheek's chances of playing for England at the World Cup this winter, Potter told a press conference: "He has really impressed me, Ruben, on and off the pitch.

“He is a humble guy who wants to learn and improve. He's clearly benefitted from game time, but the way he has trained is really, really good when he hasn't played. So that has allowed him to build his fitness up.

"Clearly, he needs a good fitness level to carry that big body of his around the pitch, but his quality is there. He is fantastic on the ball, great physicality, great athlete.

“I think he is putting himself in a situation where he will be one of the players Gareth [Southgate] will be looking at as an outsider for the squad. But that is Gareth's decision."
