Leicester City are chasing Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei.
Foxes manager Enzo Maresca needs to find a replacement for Tottenham signing James Maddison and Casadei is a priority target.

The Telegraph says Maresca will seek to take Casadei in a straight loan arrangement.
The midfielder joined Chelsea a year ago from Inter for 20m
