Jamie Vardy has all but rubbished Chelsea transfer rumours with what he has done to ease Brendan Rodgers and Leicester City's worries.
In a week which continues to see star players James Maddison and Wesley Fofana linked to Newcastle and Chelsea respectively, the Foxes capped off a worrying week with a 2-2 draw at home to Brentford in the opening 2022/23 Premier League game at the weekend. Rodgers spoke about the pair before the game as he continued to 'maintain the not for sale stance' but Fofana especially is looking the more likely of the duo to make a late exit as Chelsea prepares a world-record third bid, football.london understands.
The 21-year-old leaving would leave the East Midlands little time to secure a suitable and just as good replacement for the Frenchman but their worries could have been compounded if star striker Jamie Vardy were to make the shock decision to leave too. With one year remaining on his current deal, there were mummers that the Blues could look into conducting a last-minute transfer for the Englishmen if other targets were not to have arrived before the September deadline.
