After two consecutive World Youth Cups, Italy U20 has reached the final for the first time this year. The 20-year-old star has scored 7 goals and 2 assists in 6 matches this year and is expected to return to Chelsea to play in the English Premier League next season.
Kasady was originally a member of Inter Milan's youth team, and Chelsea spent a whopping €20 million (about HK$170 million) to acquire the youngster in August last year. The fact that Kasady is playing in the World Youth Cup has proved to be an eye opener. Even though he is playing as a midfielder, he has scored seven goals, only two less than the previous World Youth Cup top scorer Ainin Charlanthe, so it's no wonder that he's being touted as an Italian Lamberto.
Kashadi was loaned out by Chelsea to Championship side Reading in January this year, and scored 1 goal in 15 games. Since Reading will be landing in the Championship next season, and Kashadi had an outstanding performance in the World Youth Cup, Chelsea's new manager Putrajit Tannu intends to take him back for his own use. Although Chelsea has a lot of talent, but taking into account the Gowasi, Rovdoszczuk, Xue Yezhi, Mason Monte and other midfielders may be leaving the team, Kashadi returned to Chelsea, can inject new strength into the team, which will help the rebuilding of the hard-luck giants.
