"To do so, he will need to play more frequently than he is at the moment. At Milan, he has played 15 official matches this season, scoring one goal (against Lecce in round two) for a total of 715 minutes. Massimiliano Allegri has used him in various roles, both from the start and during the match, placing him as a centre-forward, a midfielder and even as a wing-back against Torino on Monday."
"A supporting role is certainly not the ideal one for a World Cup call-up and this is why the upcoming January transfer window could come to the English midfielder's aid. There are rumours of interest from Premier League clubs, and a potential swap deal with Napoli involving Lorenzo Lucca. Loftus-Cheek needs game time, and if he can't get it at Milan, he'll have to look elsewhere to pursue his target."
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is aiming to secure selection for next summer's World Cup by increasing his playing time. Squad sizes for the tournament could expand to around 30 players, raising the opportunity for selection. At Milan he has featured in 15 official matches this season, scoring one goal and accumulating 715 minutes. Massimiliano Allegri has deployed him in various positions, including centre-forward, midfielder and wing-back, but does not view him as a guaranteed starter when the squad is fully fit. January transfer options include interest from Premier League clubs and a possible swap with Napoli involving Lorenzo Lucca. A permanent sale could also align with Milan's needs for a striker, centre-back and wing-back.
