Brendan Rodgers did his best to reaffirm Leicester City's stance on Wesley Fofana on Sunday evening. The 21-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea over the last few days as the Blues turn their attention elsewhere after missing out on Jules Kounde.
football.london reported on Wednesday that Chelsea were about to enter talks with Fofana and his entourage over a possible switch to Stamford Bridge. The Frenchman recently signed a new long-term contract with Leicester until 2027 – making any deal this summer that little bit more complicated and expensive for Chelsea.
Chelsea believe Fofana has all of the ingredients to develop into a world-class player in the future, having been very impressed since he made the move from Saint-Etienne to Leicester in 2020. His manager, Rodgers, was quick to play down any speculation over Fofana's future on Sunday evening.
