Chelsea agree £12.6m deal for highly-rated Inter Milan midfielder Cesare Casadei and will pay a further £4m in add-ons with youngster offered a six-year contract

Chelsea have agreed a £12.6m deal with Inter Milan for midfielder Cesare Casadei.

The Blues will pay a further £4m in add-ons for the 19-year-old and have offered a six year contract with his medical pending this week.

Casadei, 19, is yet to make his senior professional debut for Inter, but is viewed as one of the hottest prospects in Italian football and Chelsea had a £6m bid turned down for the youngster earlier this summer.
