Report: Southampton will not sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Southampton will not sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Premier League rivals Chelsea on summer transfer deadline day, according to The Sun (Transfer Live blog, 9:17am, October 5, 2020).
It has been reported that the Saints hope to sign one or two players on loan today, but Loftus-Cheek will not move to St. Mary’s Stadium.
That’s because the wages of the 24-year-old England international is too much for Southampton, who have also signed Ibrahima Diallo for £12.7 million, according to the report in the British tabloid.
Leaving Chelsea out on loan
Loftus-Cheek is a very good and dynamic box-to-box player who can only get better if he plays regularly.
