Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei looks likely to join Watford on loan, according to reports.
The 20-year-old played 15 times on loan for the Reading last season as they succumbed to League One relegation.
Now impressing for Italy at the Under-20 World Cup, the youngster looks set for another second tier move, to Vicarage Road.
He scored twice and set-up a goal in Italy's 3-2 win over Brazil in their opening group match.

SerieBNews is reporting that Casadei is "most likely to join Watford FC on-loan for next season."

Already a regular for Italy's Under-21s as well as Under-20s, he is hotly tipped for a successful career for the Azzuri.
