Chelsea are now considering making a move for Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana, football.london understands, with contact to the defender's entourage expected to be made this week. The Foxes defender recently signed an extension at the King Power Stadium – with his contract now due to expire in the summer of 2027.
This, though, has seemingly not put Chelsea off in their interest in the 21-year-old defender. The Blues, who have already brought Kalidou Koulibaly to Stamford Bridge, want to sign at least one more central defender, with Thomas Tuchel's preference being another two centre-backs.
Jules Kounde has been the man in the spotlight over the past week or so, but the France international is now poised to join Barcelona instead. The likes of Presnel Kimpembe, who Chelsea have held talks with Paris Saint-Germain for already, Milan Skriniar and Josko Gvardiol remain options for the Blues, but Fofana could be the man the club switch their attention to now.
