Chelsea’s latest signing send massive message to Chelsea fans

Chelsea new signing Leo Castledine has compared himself to Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

“Moving from defence to midfield was a very gradual process for me,” Leo told BBC.

“It took about two seasons. I was a tough-tackling centre-back at the start of my U13 season and now, towards the end of U15 season, I am a centre midfielder and sometimes play as a number 10.”

He also described himself as “an all-action goal-scoring midfielder who drives well with the ball”.

“I dribble and create chances just like Grealish,” he said. Castledine also says he is a very similar player to Mount.

On Wednesday, he completed a transfer from Wimbledon to Chelsea, after eight years at his former club.
