‘Here we go’: Fabrizio Romano confirms imminent Leicester City signing

Cesare Casadei will complete his loan move from Chelsea to Leicester City today, says Fabrizio Romano.

Casadei, 20, finally looks set to seal his loan move from Chelsea to Leicester City today, after a growing amount of speculation linking the Italian starlet with a summer move to the King Power.

There’s been a bit of back and forth and at one point in the summer it looked like Casadei wouldn’t be joining Enzo Maresca’s side for the 2023/24 campaign.

But the Foxes have persisted and they now look set to get their man with Romano revealing on Twitter this morning that Casadei is set to complete his move from Chelsea to Leicester, after a deal was agreed last week.

Casadei looks set to become Leicester’s sixth signing of the summer so far, and only the club’s second loan signing, joining Callum Doyle who signed on loan from Manchester City earlier in the summer.

For Leicester, this looks like a very good signing. Casadei is coming off the back of a very impressive U20 World Cup campaign with Italy and he should be full of confidence ahead of this next move.

He’ll bring quality and depth to the Foxes midfield and playing alongside more experienced names like Harry Winks should be great for Casadei’s development as well.

For Maresca, this signing is a real statement one and it’ll really bolster his side’s promotion credentials this season, after what’s been a solid start to the new season for the Foxes who’ve taken maximum points.

Leicester City return to action v Cardiff City on Saturday, with kick off at 3pm at the King Power Stadium.
