Maurizio Sarri says there is "no chance" that Ruben Loftus-Cheek will leave Chelsea.

The 22-year-old has played only 119 minutes of top-flight football this season, resigned to Europa League and League Cup appearances.

But Sarri insists the Englishman is important for his squad.

"No. I want him to stay with me, to stay with us, I think there is no chance," said Sarri.

The England international has been linked with a host of clubs, including Crystal Palace and Newcastle United.
