Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek Hopes to Emulate 'Best Leader I've Seen' John Terry

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has revealed his desire to become a leader at the club like former captain John Terry.

The 23-year-old joined Chelsea's academy in 2004, the year Terry became Blues skipper.

Asked if he wanted his team-mates to look to him at difficult times as they did with Terry, he told ESPN FC's Liam Twomey:

"Yeah definitely, but I think that comes with a lot of experience. I don't think Chelsea can ever replace John [Terry]. He was the best leader I've seen, not just on the pitch but off it.
