Of all the players from Chelsea academy has produced, Ruben is in my opinion the best attacking talent. That season under Sarri, he looked like he will be the one to carry the mantle from Hazard, critical to the Europa win that year. Sadly injuries didn't let him get any consistency throughout his career.
Makes me so so happy to see him doing well, I went blue in the face trying to convince everyone he was actually absolutely fantastic at Chelsea. Love to see him getting some recognition.
Like mctominay
So doing what he was doing under sarri.
Such a cheeky number 8
Lotus Biscoff Cheesecakes
Chelsea: the club which destroys players – Pulisic and RLC are now the new Mo Salah and KDB
Southgate would see this and still call up Henderson and Kalvin Philips… Clown
He's more like Havertz as an 8.5

Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic are both playing very well for Milan. Combined with what Havertz has been doing for Arsenal over the past couple months, maybe Chelsea was the problem
As a Chelsea fan I can say, we are a club that destroys players.
He was destined to be that top attacking 8 before his bad injury. Never really came back from that
Like a reverse Joelinton
Good to see him thriving. Of course, Southgate won't see or hear of him, but good to see him finally get his chance, injury-free.
As a Chelsea fan I’m so happy for him!!
Bellingham is doing a Loftus Cheek
All it takes for a Chelsea player to improve is to leave Chelsea
Man city fan here, i have always liked RLC and always hoped that he will one day be the best box to box midfielder
I remember him as someone that could barely make an impact at a lower mid table team. Christ, was he a “silky ball carrier”? Must have missed that.
To be really honest and I'm being very honest here, when I first ever watched him I said he plays like a false number 9. I swear, and I couldn't understand why no one saw it at that time, I remember he had s really good streak at Chelsea when he scored in numerous consecutive games.
He was used further forward as a youth player and even briefly at times for Chelsea first team. Good noticing from Jon and Pioli 😊
Chelsea fans punching the air rn
Real ones know he was doing this under sarri as a lcm. I’m not surprised it’s happening again as he’s best as the most attacking midfielder in a mf 3
finally someone is talking about him
he is such a bargain for milan
From under 14’s to 21yo Ruben has always scored goals and good goals too, always an unbelievable player, look up his Sarri season 2018/19 but that injury really set him back 3-4 years. So glad he’s finally showing the potential you could glimpse, class act and class player
Southgate will still choose Henderson over him
I'm so happy for him. This is coming from a Chelsea fan. I wouldn't take him back though and not because i don't think he is good enough but I don't want us to ruin him if things don't go too well.
And yet he’ll never get a sniff in the England squad neither will tomorig
Can’t you just use cm, feet and inches is so daft
Shows how poor Serie A is
Bot cheeks😅
Would you take him back, Chelsea fans?
