# Ruben Loftus-Cheek set to join Crystal Palace on loan

[Chelsea](https://readchelsea.com/) midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is set to join Crystal Palace on loan, [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/07/10/chelseas-ruben-loftus-cheek-close-becoming-frank-de-boers-first/) reports.

New Eagles boss Frank De Boer is close to securing Loftus-Cheek on a season-long deal after fighting off competition from [Newcastle](https://readnewcastle.com/), [Southampton](https://readsouthampton.com/), and Brighton.

The 21-year-old is expected to complete his loan moan to Selhurst Park within the next 24 hours.

Loftus-Cheek will become the third [Chelsea](https://readchelsea.com/) youngster to leave Stamford Bridge on a loan deal this summer after Tammy Abraham secured a loan move to [Swansea](https://readswansea.com/) and Kasey Palmer joined newly promoted Huddersfield.

Loftus-Cheek made just six [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) appearances for [Chelsea](https://readchelsea.com/) last season and the England Under 21 international will be looking to gain some regular first team football at Selhurst Park next season.

The young midfielder has been highly rated at Chelsea for a number of years but has found game time hard to come by, so a loan move should be good for all parties concerned.
