Watford
Watford have a severe injury crisis to deal with in midfield right now. Roberto Pereyra could miss the rest of the season which another key midfielder Valon Behrami has also suffered an injury on the Boxing Day and it did not look good.
Loftus-Cheek has what it takes to be an invaluable addition to the Hornets now.
Mazzarri’s system at Watford is somewhat similar to how Conte’s Chelsea play which makes Watford an even better destination than Newcastle United for the Englishman.
Sunderland
Sunderland, like every season, are again struggling this season. David Moyes’ side have a major task in their hands to stave off relegation this season.
A constant injury crisis has made their job even tougher. Right now, Sunderland have five midfielders out injured including key players like Kirchoff, Cattermole, Rodwell. Their situation is so bad that they are having to play a defender by trade, Jason Denayer, in midfield.
Loftus-Cheek could be a crucial addition to the Black Cats at the moment. He is defensively solid and is a good passer.
The experience of playing in a relegation battling side for six months could prove to be a big help in Loftus-Cheek building his confidence.
