Mini bio
How it started.
Ruben grew up in London and joined Chelsea’s academy as a child. He won the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League before making his senior debut against Sporting in December 2014.
Finding his place.
A 2017/18 loan at Crystal Palace helped him reach England’s senior side. He made his debut against Germany in November 2017 and played four times at the 2018 World Cup as England reached the semi-finals.
A season to remember.
Back at Chelsea in 2018/19, he scored ten goals in 40 appearances, including a Europa League hat-trick against BATE Borisov. An Achilles injury kept him out of the final, which Chelsea won. He later spent a season on loan at Fulham.
The Milan chapter.
He joined AC Milan in June 2023 after 155 Chelsea appearances. His first season brought a two-goal European night against Rennes and a January player-of-the-month award. In 2025 he earned an England recall, and in 2026 he has continued sharing his football journey through interviews and club appearances.
