Palace set to make January offer for Loftus-Cheek

Crystal Palace will reportedly launch another move to sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea in January.

The Mirror reports that both Palace and Bundesliga side Schalke, who were also keen to sign him in the summer, will be chasing his services in the new year.

It has been suggested that Loftus-Cheek will be on the move in January in order to get regular playing time.

Chelsea turned down offers from Palace for Loftus-Cheek in the summer as they were keen to integrate him into their first-team squad.

However, the arrival of Mateo Kovacic on loan from Real Madrid and the emergence of Ross Barkley under Maurizio Sarri has made game time hard to come by at Stamford Bridge.

Loftus-Cheek has been forced to settle for minutes in the Europa League and cup competitions, with Premier League chances coming few and far between.

The England international impressed on loan at Palace last season and Roy Hodgson has never hidden his intention to bring the player back to the club.
