Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Inter Milan starlet Cesare Casadei with both N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic currently out injured.
Todd Boehly looks set to seal his sixth summer signing with reports suggesting the Blues have agreed a £12.6million fee with Inter, potentially rising to £16.8million for Casadei. There has been a clear focus on signing players that will be crucial to Chelsea's future after the club secured deals for Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina earlier in the transfer window.
football.london understands the Blues have had two bids rejected for Everton star Anthony Gordon, as Thomas Tuchel looks to add more talented youngsters to his squad. Boehly is keen to continue the Blues' success at youth levels as seen under their previous ownership model, with Chelsea already having poached Omari Hutchinson from Premier League rivals Arsenal earlier this summer.
