Wesley Fofana became the third most expensive defender of all time when he joined Chelsea from Leicester City last month. The young Frenchman signed for the Blues for a fee in the region of £70 million, becoming Chelsea's most expensive addition of their summer spending spree.
Fofana made his Chelsea debut in the 2-1 win over West Ham United last weekend, before starting again in the 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb in midweek. Hours after that game, Fofana discovered that the man who signed him, Thomas Tuchel, had been sacked by Chelsea.
Given Chelsea's stellar defensive record under Tuchel, Fofana was expected to improve under the German head coach, but he is being tipped to take huge strides under new boss Graham Potter.
