Ruben Ira Loftus-Cheek born 23 January 1996. He is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chelsea. A Chelsea player since the age of eight, Loftus-Cheek made his debut for the first team in December 2014. He has also represented England up to under 21 level.
After his first-team debut, Barney Ronay of The Guardian described Loftus-Cheek as an "intriguing" player of "long-striding grace" saying that with his "shielding, covering, deep-playmaking presence with a calmness in possession and a naturally telescopic reach" he would be a good fit for the senior England national team.
