Chelsea have secured the signing of Inter Milan’s young midfielder Cesare Casadei, which is expected to see Trevoh Chalobah move the other way.
Chalobah is currently happy at Stamford Bridge but that position could change if the potential signing of Leicester’s Wesley Fofana knocks him further down the defensive pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Casadei’s move to Chelsea is effectively done with an announcement just made.
The 19-year-old is set to remain in west London for the coming season and will split his time between training with the first team and playing for the Under-21s.
Chelsea have paid Inter £12.6m for Casadei, with a further £4.2m possible in add-ons. It takes the club’s academy spending to over £40m this summer and overall spending on the men’s operation to more than £170m with further business being discussed.
As well as Fofana, the Blues are in negotiations to sign both Everton winger Anthony Gordon and Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
