Leicester sign Chelsea's teenage midfielder Golding

Leicester City have signed teenage midfielder Michael Golding from Chelsea.

The 18-year-old has agreed a long-term deal in a move believed to be worth about £4m.

The England youth international's move is separate to Chelsea's £30m deal to sign Leicester midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall last week.

Golding, who can play in a number of midfielder roles, is expected to be involved in first-team training when pre-season starts at Seagrave on Monday.

He made one senior appearance under Mauricio Pochettino last season.

Golding told Leicester's website: “I’m really looking forward to making leaps in my career here and help the team as much as I can.
