Cesare Casadei has wowed football fans with his performances at the U20s World Cup - and some fans have begged for the youngster to Replace Mason Mount next season

Chelsea might not have to dip into the transfer market if they want to replace Mason Mount this summer.

Mount looks set to leave Stamford Bridge when the transfer window opens - with Liverpool and Manchester United interested in his signature. However, Mauricio Pochettino might already have a ready-made replacement at Cobham.

Chelsea signed Cesare Casadei last summer, and he was loaned out to Reading for the second half of the season. However, the youngster has shown his class at the U20's World Cup in recent weeks, and some Blues fans are keen to see him brought into the first-team fold.

One fan tweeted: "Needs to be given a chance in the first team next season!"

"I hope Casadei gets a chance next season he's been on form this season," a second added. While a third tweeted: "Whoever will be our next 6's, I hope Poch will let their chances to Chukwueze and Casadei next season as super subs. Specially Casadei, he's awesome and ready!"

"Casadei scores for Italy. Be good to see him in the first team squad getting chances next season," a fourth said. And another added: "I think people underestimating Casadei, he is clearly talented and if he shows he can play in the Premier League then he deserves a chance!"

Casadei has been the standout player of the U20s World Cup - and he was on target again in the semi-finals as Italy breezed past Colombia.

The Chelsea youngster also broke English hearts in Argentina, when his penalty sent the Three Lions packing. He has now scored six goals from midfield for the Azzurri during the tournament.

According to Bet365, Mount is 1/8 on to join Manchester United, with the player remaining at Stamford Bridge given odds of 7/1 and him ending up at Liverpool a distant 25/1.
