Chelsea would be happy to cover £100,000-a-week of Ruben Loftus-Cheek's wages if the Blues choose to send him out on loan, according to reports.
The 24-year-old midfielder has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and could be handed a new temporary club ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.
Southampton and Aston Villa are just two of the clubs believed to be interested in signing Loftus-Cheek as he looks to rediscover the form that earned him a spot in England's World Cup squad in 2018.
