Ruben Loftus-Cheek believes there is “no reason” for him to leave Chelsea but admits he will leave contract-extension talks to his agent.
The 23-year-old has scored nine goals this term and is confident he can put a long-term back problem behind him to reach his full potential.
Loftus-Cheek has two years to run on his contract, but Chelsea are keen to tie the midfielder down to longer terms at Stamford Bridge.
“I’m not sure (over new contract),” he said. “I let my agent deal with it. I’m not thinking about that right now.
“It’s important for me to focus on the here and now, and I’m playing right now. It’s looking good so there’s no reason why I should think about leaving Chelsea.”
When told he deserves a pay rise, Loftus-Cheek laughed and added: “There’s no reason for me to leave. If I get a pay rise, that’ll be great.”
