Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Chelsea have made two bids for defender Wesley Fofana this summer, but stated they are "nowhere near" the valuation they have set on the youngster. football.london understands that the Blues are preparing a third bid for the 21-year-old later this week.
It comes as Thomas Tuchel looks to continue bolstering his squad while the transfer window is still open. With just a few weeks left, the German coach has already made a plethora of additions for both the present team and the future, though more moves are expected before the start of September.
Discussing the transfer market after the 1-0 victory over Everton in their Premier League opener, Tuchel said: "We can add, but we are open for everything. We can use new energy, fresh legs and fresh input. I think we could use some more input and some more quality."
