Gary Lineker and Martin Keown have agreed that Wesley Fofana should spend another season at Leicester City before penning a deal with Chelsea. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his backline following the exits of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
football.london understands that the Frenchman feels as if the Foxes are trying to price him out of a move by requesting a world-record fee for his services. It's believed that Fofana has already agreed personal terms over a move to west London, but the Blues have seen two offers – with the highest being around £70million – turned down by Brendan Rodgers' side.
Chelsea are expected to submit a third bid in the region of £80million and have growing confidence that it will be accepted by their Premier League rivals. With Fofana seemingly close to an exit from the King Power, Lineker and Keown have offered the defender their advice.
