Gary Lineker has urged Wesley Fofana to stay at Leicester for at least one more season as Chelsea ramp up their efforts to prise him from the East Midlands.
Thomas Tuchel's side are hoping to sign the 21-year-old centre-back and have already seen bids of £60million and £65m rejected as they seek to bolster their options in central defence. Personal terms between the Blues and Fofana were reportedly agreed last week, with the defender supposedly unsettled by Chelsea's interest.
Although Fofana only agreed a new five-year Leicester deal back in March, he is keen to move to Stamford Bridge, where he can expect a much improved deal worth around £200,000 per week. Despite Leicester's reluctance to sell, boss Brendan Rodgers admitted last week that any approach for his player will be considered.
