The agreement is at its final stages despite interest from Serie A side Genoa. 1 Leicester are closing in on loan deal for U20 World Cup Golden Boot winner Cesare Casadei Credit: Getty Leicester have been working on a loan deal for the Italian midfielder after new boss Enzo Maresca made him his "top target". Chelsea would rather loan Casadei as the prospect of him staying in English football is better all round for the Blues. The talented 20-year-old featured for Chelsea in pre-season. But the Premier League giants were always expected to let him depart on loan this summer. The Foxes got their first win under new management last weekend in a thrilling 2-1 victory against Midlands rivals Coventry City. Leicester's bench was named a "joke" by fans across the country for how strong it was. The likes of Patson Daka, Dennis Praet, James Justin and more were present. However, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall took the spotlight for his emphatic brace to get them over the line. Casadei would bring a new level into the ex-Premier League champions' team, adding flair and determination in that advanced playmaker role. The ex-Inter Milan youngster showed his prowess in the recent Under-20's World Cup. Chelsea fans were calling him the "Italian Ballack" after their former German hero as he was crowned the player of the tournament and also won the Golden Boot.){kind=link}
