Chelsea midfield sensation Michael Golding is on the verge of leaving the club this summer and joining Leicester City.
According to a report from reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, newly promoted Premier League club Leicester City are closing in on the capture of Chelsea midfield prodigy Michael Golding, and the 18-year-old will head to the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes secured promotion to the Premier League earlier this summer, and they are looking to improve their squad ahead of the upcoming season. The 18-year-old could prove to be the ideal long-term acquisition for them, and he could help them in the long run.
Golding is highly rated across England, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Regular football at Leicester City could help him improve further. Although Chelsea rate the teenager highly, they will not be able to provide him with the necessary opportunities next season.
He made just one first-team appearance for Chelsea in the FA Cup last season. So, Golding needs more first-team exposure to continue his development, and the Foxes will be able to provide him with that opportunity.
Michael Golding will want ample first-team chances at Leicester
Regular football at Leicester City could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential. The two clubs are expected to agree on a reasonable deal for the talented midfielder, and he could prove to be a bargain in the long term. The Foxes will pay around £5 million for him this summer.
As for Chelsea, they could end up regretting the decision to let a talented young player like him leave the club. The midfielder will certainly be excited to join a Premier League club this summer, and he will hope that there is a clear pathway for his development at the King Power Stadium.
Although Michael Golding might not be ready to start regularly in the Premier League, he could still be a valuable member of the first team squad. The Foxes will look to build a squad for the future that can establish themselves as Premier League regulars, and Golding will certainly be a future investment.
