RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK HAS signed for AC Milan from Chelsea, the Serie A club announced on Friday.
Midfielder Loftus-Cheek arrives at Milan for a reported fee of around €21 million after spending his entire career as a Chelsea player, apart from two loan spells at Crystal Palace and Fulham.
Milan said in a statement that Loftus-Cheek has signed a four-year contract which Italian media report is worth €4m a season.
The 27-year-old joins fellow England international and Chelsea Academy graduate Fikayo Tomori at the San Siro.
He will replace Italy’s Sandro Tonali, who is set to move to Newcastle for around €80m as Milan take a new direction without Paolo Maldini.
