Gary Lineker has called on Wesley Fofana to stay at Leicester City for another season despite the defender wanting to move to Chelsea this summer. The 21-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Blues, but the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement on what could eventually be a world-record fee.
Leicester want a world-record fee for Fofana – which would be in excess of the £80million they received from Manchester United for Harry Maguire more than three years ago. So far, Chelsea have seen two offers, with the latest around £70m, turned down by the Foxes.
football.london understands Fofana is pushing internally for a move away from the King Power Stadium and is now becoming frustrated with the club's stubborn stance over his future. He fears Leicester could price him out of a move.
