Gary Lineker has admitted that he's "gutted" to see Wesley Fofana leave his beloved Leicester City, but reckons Chelsea will soon have global star on their hands.
Fofana is the subject of an agreement worth more than the £80million which Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire three years ago, making the transfer a world-record deal for a defender. In controversial circumstances, the 21-year-old has been pushing for a move to Chelsea - who Leicester coincidentally face at 3pm on Saturday - over the past fortnight. His behaviour has resulted in him being dropped from the first-team squad by manager Brendan Rodgers, who's forced him to train with the club's under-21s.
But now Fofana looks to be on his way to Stamford Bridge after the Foxes accepted Chelsea's fourth offer to sign the centre-back. And he's a highly-rated one at that, with Lineker waxing lyrical about Fofana's pedigree while reacting to Saturday morning's news.
