Former Chelsea and England defender Glen Johnson has backed the Blues to sign Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana this summer, comparing him to compatriot Raphael Varane. It comes as Thomas Tuchel prepares for life after Antonio Rudiger.
The German defender is set to leave the club at the end of the season, with his contract expiring in just a few months. Contract proposals aren’t currently able to be made, due to the sporting licence they operate under due to sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich.
Despite being a key player under Tuchel, he has already announced he is leaving, something that the manager confirmed himself: "The situation is that he wants to leave the club. He informed me of this in a private talk. We gave everything - me and the club - but we could not fight anymore because of the actions.
