​Lazio manager Sarri pushing for Chelsea midfielder Loftus-Cheek

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is emerging as a surprise target for Lazio.

The England star has been in and out of the Blues team under Thomas Tuchel this season.

While Loftus-Cheek is in Chelsea's plans, the all-action star may believe he can get more game time elsewhere.

According to Corriere dello Sport, ex-Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri believes that Loftus-Cheek can offer a lot in Serie A.

He is targeting the midfielder for Lazio, who may be looking to replace star midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the summer.

There is no suggestion about how much Chelsea would look to recoup for Loftus-Cheek, or if Lazio would attempt to secure him via a one-year loan deal.
