Roma are eyeing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

New Roma coach Jose Mourinho worked with Loftus-Cheek while with Chelsea and wants to bring him to Italy, says Corriere dello Sport.

For the moment, no approach has been made, but Mourinho has recommended the midfielder's signing after landing former Chelsea teammate Tammy Abraham.

Aston Villa, Southampton and Lazio are also being linked with Loftus-Cheek.

The England international spent last season on-loan with Fulham.
