Scott Parker backs unbelievable potential in Chelsea loanee Ruben Loftus-Cheek ahead of Spurs

Scott Parker believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek will continue to improve at Fulham and help the Cottagers with their ability in front of goal.

The Chelsea loannee has been a source of frustration for many supporters of the Whites, as he has shown only glimpses of his best qualities at Craven Cottage.

However, Parker suggests he recognises Loftus-Cheek's potential and that it is coming closer to fruition as the midfielder enjoys his longest stint of football since the achilles injury which kept him out last season.

The Fulham boss said: "I thought he did very well against QPR.

"Ruben’s been out for some time – this is probably the only consistent run of games he’s had over the last 18 months. We’re certainly seeing big improvements in that. He came on against Everton, got a goal, and again at the weekend he showed his quality in moments.

"He’s probably getting to know us a little more and what’s expected of him. I certainly still see lots and lots of levels from Ruben – this is a technically gifted beyond belief player. I see him getting better and better with each game.

"Goals, assists, grabbing games by the scruff of the neck – these are all elements of Ruben’s game that he can do. There’s only a handful of players you can probably say that about, so it just shows you the capabilities he has."
