Chelsea have been told by Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson that they could be making a mistake in not signing Harry Maguire after choosing to acquire Wesley Fofana from Leicester City instead.
The Blues had reportedly been interested in Manchester United captain Maguire after failing to sign long-term target Jules Kounde, who instead joined Barcelona.
However, Chelsea would choose to then go after Fofana, and now look to have got their man, as football.london understands Chelsea returned with a fourth bid worth a guaranteed £70million and further add-ons that would take the transfer above the £80million that Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire in 2019.
