Wesley Fofana was left out of Leicester City's squad on Saturday afternoon against Southampton because he was "not in the right frame of mind". The 21-year-old is desperate to join Chelsea this summer football.london understands, and while not submitting an official transfer request, he is pushing internally for permission to leave the King Power Stadium.
Chelsea have seen three offers turned down by the Foxes for the highly-rated Fofana, who signed a new long-term contract at the club earlier in the year. Leicester are insistent they want £80million for Fofana, but Chelsea are doing their best to try and drive that price down.
Explaining to NBC Sports Soccer, via the Mirror, his decision to leave Fofana out at the weekend, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said, "One, a change in system and two, I mentioned in the week about coming into a Premier League game and maybe one or two players not being in the right frame of mind. You cannot carry them, and we certainly can't. So that's the reason for the change."
