Scout report
R. Loftus-Cheek is a 30-year-old central midfielder at AC Milan, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 319th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Loftus-Cheek.
Judged on this season alone, Loftus-Cheek graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 1.567 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 54th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Loftus-Cheek is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Loftus-Cheek missed 5 games through injury (broken jawbone, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · AC Milan finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.57 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.5, Loftus-Cheek carries the 54th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
