Chelsea midfield starlet Michael Golding is on the brink of a summer move to Leicester City. According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Leicester City, freshly promoted to the Premier League, are closing in on signing the 18-year-old from Chelsea.

Golding, a highly-rated talent in English football, made a single first-team appearance for Chelsea in the FA Cup last season. Despite his potential, Chelsea cannot guarantee him regular playing time next season, prompting the move. Leicester City, on the other hand, are eager to bolster their squad and see Golding as a promising long-term investment.

The Foxes’ promotion has spurred a recruitment drive to ensure Premier League stability, and Golding’s potential makes him an ideal addition. At Leicester, he would likely get the regular first-team football he needs to develop, potentially making him a key player in the future. The deal, worth around £5 million, is seen as a bargain for Leicester City.

Chelsea might come to regret this decision, as Golding could flourish with the increased opportunities at Leicester. For Golding, this move represents a significant step in his career, with hopes of establishing himself as a Premier League regular and aiding Leicester’s ambitions of staying in the top flight.
