Cesare Casadei signed for Chelsea in the summer transfer window after completing a £17million move from Inter.
Casadei was one of three signings that fit in with Todd Boehly's new long-term vision at Stamford Bridge, along with the arrivals of Gabriel Slonina Omari Hutchinson and Carney Chukwuemeka. The American owner aims to protect the future of the Blues by signing talented youngsters now and allowing them time to develop at Cobham to eventually become key players at the club.
The Italian youngster has impressed at youth level for the Blues as he continues to stake a claim to become part of Graham Potter's first-team squad. Casadei has registered four goal contributions in just seven appearances, but his quality is clear for all to see, and he could begin to feature in the senior squad in the new year.
