Paul Merson believes Chelsea should have gone for Manchester United outcast Harry Maguire instead of Wesley Fofana.
The Blues are set to sign Fofana from Leicester City imminently, after finally agreeing a blockbuster deal with the Foxes. It is believed that the young Frenchman will make the move to Stamford Bridge in an initial deal worth £70m.
And add-ons could yet see Fofana become the world’s most expensive defender, overtaking the £80m United paid to Leicester for Maguire three seasons ago. That transfer now looks increasingly difficult to explain with the England international ousted from the Red Devils XI by new boss Erik ten Hag.
