WATCH: Cesare Casadei hits Chelsea wonder goal in EFL Trophy win

Cesare Casadei continues to turn heads at Chelsea.

The 19-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge in a £12.6m deal from Inter Milan in the summer.

And Casadei scored a 40-YARD screamer in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday.

The midfielder has been playing for the club's Under-21s to get on to the pitch.

And he's enjoyed a decent time of things, scoring three goals in five Premier League 2 outings.

But Casadei's best moment came against Peterborough earlier this week as the Blues reached the round of 16.

With Chelsea leading 1-0 against the League One side, the teenager took matters into his own hands. Casadei picked up the ball just past halfway and skipped past one tackle before letting fly from fully 40-yards. Remarkably, his effort arrowed into the top corner, leaving the keeper with absolutely no chance.

Such was the quality of the strike, even some of the Peterborough fans were applauding. Watch below:
