West Ham transfer news: Bad news for Hammers with ‘incredible’ 27-year-old reportedly intrigued by chance to join AC Milan.

According to a report from 90 Min, Chelsea ace Ruben Loftus-Cheek is keen to join AC Milan in the summer transfer window, in spite of the interest in his services from West Ham.

That is obviously a big blow for the Hammers, with David Moyes thought to be keen to bring the 27-year-old Chelsea star to the London Stadium at the end of the season.

Moyes desperately needs to bolster his central midfield ranks at West Ham in the summer window, and Loftus-Cheek would have been the ideal signing for us as far as I’m concerned.

AC Milan seem to be clear favourites for the 10-capped England international’s signature though…

90 Min reckon that the 27-year-old is keen for a reunion with Fikayo Tomori at the San Siro this summer.

The former Chelsea centre-back has apparently spoken very highly indeed about Milan, when Loftus-Cheek asked him what life is like with the Rossoneri.

That’s a real shame for West Ham. Loftus-Cheek’s power, energy, dynamism and versatility would have taken us to a whole new level next season in my opinion.

The Englishman is a supremely talented central midfielder, and I think everyone will see the best of him when he is given regular game-time away from Chelsea.

Described by The Sun as an incredible player, the 27-year-old Chelsea ace would be a superb signing for West Ham.

However, AC Milan’s interest and Loftus-Cheek’s reported excitement at the idea of joining the Italian giants means that the Hammers will have our work cut-out.

Let’s hope that we make the Chelsea star an offer that he can’t refuse. He would be such a strong addition for us in the summer transfer window. With plenty of West Ham transfer news already floating about, this is one that I think we should all be keeping an eye on the closest.
