ABOUT RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK

Midfielder known for being a member of Chelsea FC from a young age. He won an FA Youth Cup and the Under-21 Premier League in 2013-2014, which led to his debut with big league club at the end of 2014.

He started playing with Chelsea when he was eight-years-old. He made his international debut in 2011 with the U-16 English team.

As one of the few homegrown talents in Chelsea's pipeline, his early senior career drew comparisons to John Terry .

He has two half brothers, Carl and Leon Cort, who both spent time playing in the Premier League.

Although he initially made his debut for Jose Mourinho , the embattled, since-fired Chelsea coach was criticized in his handling of the young talent.
