Ruben Loftus-Cheek admits he's enjoying his football with AC Milan.

The England midfielder joined Milan last summer from Chelsea.

He told the club's website: "I'm a box to box, I've played in various positions in my career so I'm also at ease in other parts of the field. As the years go by, however, I feel more and more like an all-round midfielder, I enjoy it more that way."

What qualities do you consider essential?

"My physicality, I'm sturdy, I have strength and speed, and when I manage to combine these characteristics with my quality I can help the team more."

You have played many roles in his career... One day will you also be in goal like Giroud did?

"Maybe, let's see, maybe yes, but excluding the goalkeeper I'm only missing the left back, then I've really played all the roles."

Do you like making risky passes in the attacking midfield?

"I think it's one of the points to improve on. I usually prefer to bring the ball to the midfield and try dribbling, so it's definitely a point to improve on."

Your relationship with Giroud?

"I love playing with Oli, he is a great player. He always comes forward and is found, he is perfect as a defender or with one-twos."

Are you starting to feel at home in Serie A?

"Even in the first matches I already felt at home thanks to the fans and the atmosphere of the stadium, during the pre-season I already felt at home. I consider my first six months in Serie A very positive."

The celebration with the arm lowered?

"It's a famous gesture in basketball, when a taller player dunks on a shorter one...".

Is the best of Loftus-Cheek yet to come?

"I had a little physical decline after the injury, but now I feel like I'm getting back to full fitness and the team is playing very well, so I hope so."
