Don Hutchinson considers one player’s decision to leave Chelsea to be a “great move.”

Expert Don Hutchinson has claimed he believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek made the right decision to leave Chelsea.

Taking to Twitter, he welcomed the England international opting for a move abroad to maximize his potential.

It has been claimed that Loftus-Cheek has already undergone a medical examination ahead of a possible move to AC Milan in the coming days.

The move sees the Blues part ways with another academy graduate who has been associated with the club for more than half his life.

Although he also featured regularly as a central midfielder, he was used as a substitute for Reece James when the latter was injured.

Loftus-Cheek’s ability to carry on was seen as the best possible replacement for the 23-year-old, although captain Cesar Azpilicueta was also available.
Hutchinson was impressed with Loftus-Cheek

However, last season was expected to be the club’s last with them having to sell to raise money for this summer.
Hutchinson has now said he believes it will be a big move for the England national team.

He said, “Good for him. He could have stayed in his comfort zone and stayed in the prem. Very jealous of the boys who are now going to Serie A.

“Great move on his part. Now out of his comfort zone. Huge club, new language, new city, etc.”

The player is one of several players whose departure from Stamford Bridge has already been announced.
Yesterday saw an official report that Kai Havertz had completed his big money transfer across the capital to Arsenal.
