Jamie Redknapp makes £123m Wesley Fofana and William Saliba Chelsea-Arsenal comparison

Jamie Redknapp has labelled both Arsenal's William Saliba and Chelsea target Wesley Fofana as 'classy' Premier league defenders and has in the process told Todd Boehly exactly why to meet Leicester City's £80million transfer demand.

There was a certain point in the summer where many thought Saliba could be sold to Marseille but the £42m valued central defender (according to the CIES Football Observatory) decided to stay put and not push for a move away. What a decision that was.

The former Marseille loanee - despite netting an own goal in the 4-2 Leicester win - produced two outstanding performances against Crystal Palace and most recently AFC Bournemouth, which was capped off by a wonder goal on the South Coast against the Cherries. His performances so far have already warranted a catchy Arsenal chant being made from the supporters.
