Former Chelsea star Glen Johnson has urged the Blues to sign Wesley Fofana... in a deal he believes will give them the Premier League's best defence.
Thomas Tuchel saw his options at the back weakened when Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left Stamford Bridge at the end of last season. The German snapped up Kalidou Koulibaly to stiffen his backline, although he saw the Senegal captain sent off during the defeat to Leeds on Sunday.
French youngster Fofana has been a target of Chelsea's for much of the summer, but Leicester have insisted that he is not for sale. The Blues are thought to be preparing an £80million bid for the centre-back, which they hope will tempt the Foxes into agreeing a deal.
