New Arsenal signing Kai Havertz has sent a message to Ruben Loftus-Cheek after learning that the midfielder is leaving Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea for AC Milan.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is leaving Chelsea for AC Milan in the summer transfer window.
The Athletic have reported that former Serie A champions Milan will pay the Blues £15 million plus add-ons for the 27-year-old midfielder, who was earning £150,000 per week as salary at Chelsea (SalarySport).
The English midfielder had been on the books of Chelsea since 2004 and came through the London club’s youth academy.
The 27-year-old has not always been a regular for the Chelsea first team.
Last season, Loftus-Cheek made 19 starts and six substitute appearances in the Premier League for the London club, providing one assist in the process.
Loftus-Cheek has sent an emotional message to Chelsea fans on Instagram following the move away from Stamford Bridge.
And new Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is among those who have responded to him.
Havertz, who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, played with Loftus-Cheek for Chelsea.
