The Blues boss is impressed with how his homegrown star is playing at Craven Cottage and is seriously considering bringing him back next season
Frank Lampard has revealed that he considers Fulham loanee Ruben Loftus-Cheek part of his long-term plans at Chelsea ahead of the west London derby this weekend.
Loftus-Cheek has earned plaudits for his recent displays at Chelsea's local rivals but he will be unable to line up for Scott Parker's team on Saturday due to the terms of his loan agreement.
Still, Lampard has been closely monitoring the development of the 24-year-old through reports from the loan department at Cobham Training Centre. Lampard has said that he is hoping to see Loftus-Cheek back at Chelsea next season.
