Chelsea news: Wonderkid scores stunning goal as Graham Potter finds Thiago Silva successor

Your Chelsea morning digest on Thursday, November 24.

Stunning Casadei

Cesare Casadei scored a brilliant goal for Chelsea Under-21s as they beat Peterborough in the Papa Johns Trophy.

The Italian midfielder signed over the summer for a huge fee of £20m for the teenager who is yet to play a senior match in his career. He has impressed Mark Robinson's youth side but produced a moment of magic against Posh.

With the young Blues already 1-0 up at the Weston Homes Stadium, Casadei drove from the halfway line before being converged on by two players, with nothing much ahead of him he unleashed a vicious shot from deep and saw it fire past Lucas Bergstrom.

Thiago Silva successor

Chelsea faced a defensive crisis over the summer when they saw both Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger leave for free.

That left Thomas Tuchel without two first choice centre-backs, but the Blues would go on to spend £165.8m on defenders to sort that out.

So far the investment hasn't gone too well with none of Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella or Wesley Fofana able to hit top form. This could open up space for Levi Colwill to push himself into the frame.

Ronaldo transfer latest

Chelsea are still in the mix to sign Cristiano Ronaldo according to the bookmakers.

The Portuguese forward has had his contract terminated at Manchester United following his infamous interview with Piers Morgan, but there aren't swathes of options for his next club.

The Blues, given their standing in European football and ability to pay large wages, have been heavily linked with him, especially after Todd Boehly met with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes over the summer.

Chelsea have been warned of the move though.
