Chelsea youngster Leo Castledine has sealed a loan move as he embarks on the next chapter of his promising career. The 19-year-old midfielder, widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted players in Chelsea’s academy, will spend the 2025 season gaining valuable first-team experience away from Stamford Bridge.
The club believes regular senior minutes will accelerate his development, with coaches backing him to return stronger and ready to compete for a place in the first team. Castledine is expected to play a key role at his loan club, where he’ll have the opportunity to showcase his talent at a higher competitive level.
