Ruben Loftus-Cheek is backing former Chelsea teammate Christian Pulisic to join him at AC Milan.

Loftus-Cheek was presented to the local media yesterday and was asked about Milan's move for the USA captain.

He said: "Pulisic will arrive tomorrow. We have already spoken, he will give us a big hand."

On Milan's long-term interest, Loftus-Cheek admits former director Paolo Maldini had followed him for over two years.

He said: "Maldini had already told me that Milan had been impressed by my performances after Milan-Chelsea, but then I remained focused on Chelsea. Then this hypothesis came up with those in charge and in the end it materialised."
