Chelsea sent transfer warning as Thomas Tuchel told Antonio Rudiger contract saga repeat looms

Chelsea have been warned of Wesley Fofana's controversial past, with the defender tipped to force a move to Real Madrid if the Spanish giants 'come calling'. The 21-year-old, who penned a seven-year contract in west London this summer, swapped the King Power Stadium for Stamford Bridge in a deal which is said to have cost the Blues in the region of £70million.

In the month leading up to Fofana's departure from Leicester City, several reports claimed that the defender refused to train with the Foxes in order to force an exit. If the reports are to be believed then his action will have played a major role in a move to Chelsea.

It's also said that Fofana went on strike at Saint-Etienne in a bid to secure a move to Leicester. And, Graeme Souness thinks that history will repeat itself in west London if Real Madrid launch a plot to sign him - just as they did with Antonio Rudiger this summer.
