The Foxes recently sold midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury -Hall to the Blues for £30m. As part of the deal, it was agreed that the Midlands outfit would buy someone from the west London giants.

Instead of signing a first-team star, the club went ahead to secure a deal for Golding, who is considered as a potential star for the future. Steve Cooper gave the green light for the youngster's move.

Golding was unlikely to break into the first-team plans of Chelsea , but he could now have an opening with the Foxes, who will be keen to impress on their return to the Premier League after one season.

The Foxes face a tough task of beating the drop despite their previous history in the division. With their PSR concerns, they are not in a position to spend big and may have to rely on cut-price deals.
