Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has made a statement decision on star duo Wesley Fofana and Youri Tielemans as Chelsea and Arsenal keep up their respective transfer interest in the Foxes pair.
The east Midlands side face Southampton in their third fixture of this new season and as the transfer window comes to its pinnacle, no wonder interest has ramped up in a couple of Leicester stars. James Maddison and Jamie Vardy are set to stay put for the season but the futures of Fofana and Tielemans remain up in the air.
For Fofana, football.london understands that the 21-year-old is frustrated that the club have knocked back two bids that he believed were acceptable. The uncertainty has led the player's mindset to suffer and as a result, Rodgers explained his decision to drop him completely from the squad in his pre-match press conference.
