, he said to DAZN: “I've played in many roles throughout my career. In the last two years mostly in a defensive position, and it wasn’t natural for me.
“I've always liked having the ball at my feet, having the freedom to create, to be decisive. I couldn't do that in the last two seasons, that way of playing didn't make me happy.”Loftus-Cheek continued: “Now, I play in a position where I have more freedom, so I feel good.”Explaining how his move to Italy came about, Loftus-Cheek said: “After I played against them in the Champions League, Milan said they were interested in me.
“I wasn't thinking too much about it, there was a lot of the season left at Chelsea, but towards the end things changed. Milan have always been a great club, after speaking with [Stefano] Pioli I was convinced to come here.”So far in the 23/24 season, Loftus-Cheek has made three appearances in the Serie A for Milan.Milan have won all three matches so far as they sit second in the Serie A table and are only behind local rivals Inter Milan on goal difference.
