Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek feels England can be the best team in the world. England’s failure to get past big teams has been a big issue over the years and the problem seems to be there following their 2-1 defeat against Spain in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley.

Since Gareth Southgate’s appointment as the England manager, there has been a change in the playing style as the team now focuses on more direct football. But despite induction of young footballers and new philosophy, their struggle on the big stages is quite visible.

Loftus-Cheek had doubts over his future and even sought a loan move in the summer but the club stood firm in their position and assured him he will have his chances to prove his worth.

The 22 year old said, “I think we definitely have that potential.

“We are in this transition phase at the moment where we want to become one of the best teams in the world – up there with Spain, France and Germany.

“We want to compete with them and dominate football.

“We are in this transition phase where we want to have it mentally in our heads that we are one of the best teams in the world.

“It is that belief to have the courage to play in tight areas and try and play football rather than just going long. It takes time but we are working towards it.”
