Chelsea youngster Leo Castledine has been one of League One’s top players since joining Huddersfield Town on loan and could improve in the January transfer window.
Leo Castledine’s form on loan at Huddersfield Town could lead to a move to the Championship in the January transfer window, with second-tier clubs linked to sign Chelsea’s young midfielder.
Castledine, 20, has been on loan at the Terriers since joining Lee Grant’s side in the summer. The England Under-19 international, who was attracting Championship interest at the time, made an offer to link up with a team widely considered to be one of the favorites to win promotion from League One.
The attacking midfielder shined in the Third Division as Huddersfield’s top scorer with seven goals in 19 games, attracting attention with some spectacular strikes, including a stunning free-kick against Luton Town last month that won him the League Goal of the Month award for November.

His exploits have attracted attention even higher up the pyramid, with several Championship clubs keen on the former AFC Wimbledon youngster, and there is room for a permanent move to materialize in the January transfer window.
Castledine still has around 18 months left on his contract at Stamford Bridge. However, Chelsea are understood to be prepared to facilitate a generous contract in the new year as the talented youngster will benefit from any future moves he makes.
Castledine scored five goals in six games at the weekend as Huddersfield beat Rotherham 3-1 to move up to seventh in the League One standings.
The Terriers will be loath to lose Castledine, who has quickly established himself as one of the team’s most important players under Grant in his first senior head coaching role.
