Ruben Loftus-Cheek said he is ready to play a leadership role at AC Milan after the midfielder's move from his boyhood club Chelsea.The 27-year-old England international moved to the 'Rossoneri' after spending 19 years at Stamford Bridge, where he won the Premier League, Europa League and UEFA Super Cup.Loftus-Cheek made over 155 appearances and scored 13 goals during that time before signing a four-year deal with Milan."I understand the weight of the (Milan) shirt and my responsibility coming into this club," Ruben Loftus-Cheek told reporters. "I've had a lot of experience in football, and I can use that ...
I feel ready and good physically to produce performances for the team, and I'm ready to be a leader."I was happy playing for my boyhood club, but I didn't feel really content with how much I was contributing to the team.
I feel like I have more to give. "So, I thought it was a good time to make a fresh start."Loftus-Cheek looks set to be reunited with former Chelsea team mate Christian Pulisic at Milan and he said the American would be a "great addition".Milan will kick off their preparation for the new season in the United States where they will play friendly matches against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
