Matt Law hasn’t had the scoop of many of this summer’s transfers, but he’s well connected at Chelsea, and when he says something authoritatively we listen.
You can’t get much more authoritative than his words on RLC today, whom he says “has no desire to leave” Chelsea, either as a makeweight in a deal for an incoming player or simply as a normal transfer away.
As I've reported before, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has no desire to leave Chelsea – whether it be as part of a bid for another player such as Fofana or a standalone transfer. The current stance is he will not go #cfc

We’re delighted by this news. Ruben is a Chelsea boy and we want to keep him around. Last season he showed his versatility by filling in at right wing back, and it’s probably that ability which is convincing Thomas Tuchel and the rest of the coaching staff that he can play an important role in this campaign too.
We’re still a little short in central midfield too, and while we may yet sign someone there, until we do, Ruben remains a great option as cover.
No offence SuperFrank, but your pieces are mostly a bit too sentimental…they seem too much like personal opinions than Chelsea news (it’s cool if that’s what they are meant to be though) But if they are not, I think you should tone it down a bit.
