Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news, gossip and transfer speculation from icchelseanews that we think you may have missed featuring Marcus Rashford and Cesare Casedai.

CHELSEA are in talks with Monza over a loan deal for Cesare Casadei, according to reports in Italy as the young man is pushing for a move away from the Blues in order to get some first team minutes that he has failed to do at Stamford Bridge

The 21-year-old has played a little over ten times for the Blues and while he was close to departing the club in the summer, potentially on a loan deal, he ended up staying at Stamford Bridge.

He’s yet to play in the Premier League in the campaign, and despite the manager not picking him, Casadei has revealed to TuttoSport in an interview that Enzo Maresca played a key role in keeping him at the club.

But According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the club and Monza are ‘quickly’ advancing their negotiations over a six-month loan deal for Casadei ahead of the January transfer window.

The report claims that Monza are aiming to have the midfielder registered as soon as the window opens on January 2 in order for him to play against Cagliari three days later.

Italy under-21 boss Carmine Nunziata recently claimed that he believed a move away in the winter could benefit the youngster: “Last year Cesare had a good first part with Leicester, then he went to Chelsea and played little,” Nunziata told Rai Radio 1 Sport. “This year they [Chelsea] kept him there, I advised him to see how it goes until January, otherwise it’s right to look around for another solution.

“The important thing is that the boys play. If they find a team in Italy, even better. But the experience abroad is also formative. For example, after playing in Switzerland, I found [Mattia] Zanotti to have improved a lot and grown a lot.”

MARESCA TOLD TO SIGN DEFENDER

CHELSEA have started the season in fine fashion under Enzo Maresca and are now firmly in the race for that Premier League title, but they have been told to add some experience to the side when the January transfer window opens up in just a few weeks time.

We have been big spenders in recent windows, have signed so many players, and been through quite a few coaches, but they seem to have got a man in the shape of Maresca that knows how to get the very best out hos young squad.

They are playing well in Europe, they are sitting second in the Premier League and are playing well enough to get the fans believing that a Premier League title could come their way by the end of the season.

Pundit Ian Wright is intrigued to see if the club can maintain their title push but believes they need a new goalkeeper and ‘experienced centre-back’ to go to ‘the next level’: ‘A goalkeeper and an experienced centre-half takes them to the next level,’ Wright said on his podcast. ‘I think they’re only missing a good goalkeeper and an experienced centre-half.

‘I think the goalkeeper has it in him to drop some points. But Chelsea can just continue as they are, no one is expecting it from then, so we will see what Chelsea and Enzo Maresca are made of later in the season.

‘If they get an experienced guy in the dressing room, they are right amongst it. I keep saying it but watch this space with CHELSEA.’

RASHFORD FOR £40M

Manchester United are open to offloading Marcus Rashford in the January transfer window and value him at just £40 million ($51m), with the likes of CHELSEA one of the many clubs that have been linked with a potential move for the striker.

Rashford has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons again this season and looks nothing like the player that netted 30 goals for United  just a few seasons ago.

He really struggled last season under boss Erik Ten Hag and has only managed to score 8 goals in all competitions for United, which is not good enough for a player of his ability and quality when he is on top of his game.

Now, According to the Telegraph, United started welcoming bids for the 27-year-old last summer following a drastic loss of form, and are ready to let him leave the club when the January window opens up next month, and could accept just £40 million for the star

A few seasons ago Rashford had the world at his feet, he was well on his way to becoming one of the very best footballers in the world, but that has all changed now and he looks like a player that is not interested in football.

If the reports are true and Man United are willing to let the star leave the club, then maybe it is the best thing for him as he needs a change, it is not working at Old Trafford.

There will be many fans that will be sad to see him go, but as we said, he looks nothing like the player that could bang in 30 goals.
