Wesley Fofana has penned a new five-year contract at Leicester City, handing Chelsea a major blow in their pursuit of landing one of the rumoured names being lined up as an Antonio Rudiger replacement.
The 21-year-old, who is yet to feature this season after breaking his leg and suffering ankle ligament damage in a pre-season friendly, has been subject to interest from a host of Europe's leading sides.
Thomas Tuchel's side were reportedly keen to sign the Foxes centre-half this summer but the Blues faced competition from Real Madrid at the time and his list of suitors will not have shortened despite his prolonged injury absence.
