Cesare Casadei joins Championship side on loan

Chelsea have confirmed that Leicester have signed Cesare Casadei on a season-long loan.

The Italian was on the US tour with Chelsea's first team, making four appearances in the pre-season.

Last season, the midfielder spent half a year on loan with Reading so he already has experience playing in the Championship.

Chelsea's sporting directors said about the move: "This loan move is the perfect opportunity for Cesare to continue his progression as an exciting, young footballer.

"We’re excited to see how he performs under Enzo Maresca at Leicester and look forward to watching him continue on this journey."

Casadei joined Chelsea in 2022 from Inter Milan. He is yet to make a senior appearance for the Blues.
