Before to agreeing to a four-year contract with Milan, Loftus-Cheek made more than 155 appearances and netted 13 goals.
“I understand the weight of the (Milan) shirt and my responsibility coming into this club,” Ruben Loftus-Cheek told reporters.
“I’ve had a lot of experience in football, and I can use that… I feel ready and good physically to produce performances for the team, and I’m ready to be a leader.
“I was happy playing for my boyhood club, but I didn’t feel really content with how much I was contributing to the team. I feel like I have more to give.
“So, I thought it was a good time to make a fresh start.”
Loftus-Cheek looks set to be reunited with former Chelsea team-mate Christian Pulisic at Milan and he said the American would be a “great addition”.
Milan will kick off their preparation for the new season in the United States where they will play friendly matches against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
