Monaco are reportedly interested in a loan deal for Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Loftus-Cheek, 22, spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and impressed for the Eagles before representing England at the 2018 World Cup.

The midfielder was strongly linked with a return to Palace during the summer, but has thus far stayed at Chelsea.

Loftus-Cheek has only played 22 minutes of Premier League football this term though, and it is understood that he wants to leave on loan before the European transfer window closes at the end of the month.

According to The Sun, Monaco are closely watching developments at Stamford Bridge, with the Ligue 1 outfit interested in taking the England international on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.

Loftus-Cheek has scored once in 23 Premier League appearances for Chelsea.
