Gary Lineker labels Wesley Fofana Chelsea transfer 'unfair' as Todd Boehly reaches agreement

Gary Lineker has said Wesley Fofana's potential move to Chelsea is "unfair" on Leicester City as the Blues close in a deal. 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 understand that Fofana feels as if Leicester City are trying to price him out of a move by requesting a world-record fee for his services. It's believed that the Frenchman has already agreed personal terms over a move to west London, but the Blues have seen a handful of offers turned down by the Foxes until now.

According to French outlet RMC, via GFFN, Chelsea and Leicester have reached an agreement for the defender. However, with just a few days until the summer transfer window slams shut, Fofana is yet to officially depart the King Power Stadium and Lineker feels as if an exit is unfair on his former club.
