Brendan Rodgers has repeated his message to Chelsea to forget about signing Wesley Fofana.
The rumours are refusing to go away with various reports suggesting talks are progressing with a view to an £80m-plus deal. But Foxes boss Rodgers has sideswiped any suggestion that the highly-rated 21-year-old will be going anywhere.
Rodgers thinks Fofana is absolutely the real deal and poured cold water over the speculation immediately after his side’s 1-0 friendly win over Sevilla last night. But that’s not putting off several outlets who still insist the French star will end up as part of Thomas Tuchel's reshaped defence at Stamford Bridge.
