Chelsea are set for a midfield overhaul this summer as they brace themselves for a number of transfer exits.

N’Golo Kante is set for a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia.

And Mateo Kovacic looks likely to seal a switch to Treble-chasing Man City.

England star Mount is also edging towards an exit after refusing to sign a new deal, with United leading the race.

But the Red Devils are reluctant to meet Chelsea’s £70million price tag, with talks now at an impasse.

Both parties now face an anxious wait over Mount’s future.

Yet Blues fans feel their club should cash in quickly for a cheaper figure.

That’s because there’s a ready-made replacement already at Stamford Bridge.

Italian ace Casadei, 20, joined Chelsea from Inter Milan last summer and spent the season on loan at Reading.

He’s now shining at the U20s World Cup, becoming the tournament’s top scorer with seven goals so far.

And Chelsea supporters reckon Casadei needs to form part of Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team squad next term, with the youngster showing himself to be in the style of club legend Lampard.

One said: “We need to sell Mount because Casadei will bench him next season.”

Another declared: “Casadei is the closest thing to Frank Lampard. Boy has taken the World Cup by storm.”

One noted: “Get him straight into the first team.”

Another added: “He should be in the side, we need to start giving our young players game time and stop loaning.”
