Chelsea starlet sends Graham Potter World Cup message with sensational goal

Chelsea youngster Cesare Casadei scored a stunning goal against Peterborough as the young Blues progressed to the third round of the Papa Johns Trophy.

The Italian midfielder was purchased for £20million from Inter Milan over the summer in a large scale youth recruitment drive from the new owners. Casadei, who is yet to play a senior game in his career, is one of the best prospects currently at Cobham.

His big frame makes Casadei a brilliant option in midfield across the centre of the pitch. He is able to play as a defensive midfielder, in a pivot or as an attacking player too, and that has proved the case so far. For Chelsea's Under-21s side he has scored four times in eight matches with one assist, but his long-range strike against Posh was the biggest indicator of his talent so far.
