Chelsea could sign their very own Virgil van Dijk in Wesley Fofana if Jamie Redknapp's verdict on the Frenchman is to be believed.
The Blues have lost centre-backs Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger to Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, this summer, considerably tweaking Thomas Tuchel's backline ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. So far, Senegal star Kalidou Koulibaly is the only defensive reinforcement to arrive at Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window but football.london understands that the west Londoners are now considering making a move for Leicester City centre-half Wesley Fofana, with contact to the former Saint Etienne man's entourage expected to be made in the coming days.
Fofana, who has a contract with the Foxes until the summer of 2027, has established himself as one of the Premier League's most promising young defenders since joining from Les Verts two years ago - earning himself comparisons to Liverpool stalwart van Dijk and Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand in the process.
