Chelsea remain interested in Wesley Fofana from Leicester City but fear negotiations over a move could be difficult. The Foxes defender recently signed a new contract at the King Power Stadium until the summer of 2027 – meaning the Blues could have their work cut out in negotiations.
Fofana is seen as a top target for Chelsea, and the Blues started talks with his entourage over a move in the week, football.london understands. The 21-year-old recently returned to action after months on the sideline after breaking his leg around a year ago.
The Frenchman, who is hoping to earn a place in the France international squad for the FIFA World Cup later this year, impressed Chelsea with how quickly he recovered from the serious injury. Personal terms with Fofana aren't expected to be an issue, but Leicester will demand big money to consider allowing him to leave the King Power this summer.
