Arsenal summer transfer target Cesare Casadei impressing in Chelsea training
The Athletic have reported that Casadei has impressed everyone at training sessions at Chelsea following his move from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.
Former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea did consider sending the 19-year-old midfielder out on loan to get first-team experience, but the Blues eventually decided against it, according to the report.
Arsenal were strongly linked with the Italy Under-19 international midfielder in the summer transfer window.
La Repubblica reported on July 30 that Arsenal have had an offer for Casadei turned down.
The teenager eventually joined Arsenal’s London and Premier League rivals Chelsea from former Serie A winners Inter for an initial £12.6 million (Sky Sports).
Missing out
In our view, Arsenal could eventually regret missing out on Cesare Casadei to Chelsea.
Yes, the Italian is only 19, but his quality and calibre is massive.
As reported by The Athletic, the midfielder scored 24 goals and gave seven assists in two seasons for Inter’s Under-19 side.
Casadei scored 17 of those goals in 2021-22 to help Inter win the Under-19 championship
