Leicester 'target Chelsea and Italy U21 star Cesare Casadei on a loan deal', as Enzo Maresca continues to rebuild his Foxes side for their promotion push

Championship side Leicester City are hoping to secure Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei from Chelsea.

The Italian U21 player came to Chelsea for an impressive £17million from Inter Milan in 2022 and spent last season on loan with Reading.

Casadei recently won the Golden Boot at the Under-20 World Cup 2023, after scoring seven goals at the tournament, and has drawn interest from a number of teams.

According to The Telegraph, the Italian midfielder is a 'sought-after player in the Championship' - with the Foxes taking a particular interest in the player.
