Leicester make Wesley Fofana replacement progress as Rodgers delivers Chelsea transfer latest

Leicester City have made progress already on preparing for life without Chelsea-bound Wesley Fofana.

The Frenchman missed the game at Stamford Bridge between the two sides in game week four as the 21-year-old's head was elsewhere, as visible in his social media activity on the morning of the game. As well as appreciating Gary Lineker's goodbye tweet, the player in question inadvertently confirmed his move on Twitter with his quote retweet. Fast forward a few days after the 2-1 win for his soon-to-be new club, the Foxes star has been sent to America to undergo his medical tests.

football.london understands that a base fee of around a guaranteed £70million has been shaken on between the two sides, with add-ons potentially adding to the cost in the long-term. Although some sources are indicating that the total fee with add-ons included will be around the £70m mark meaning a world record fee will not be broken on this occasion.
