Chelsea have been handed a major blow in their mission to sign Wesley Fofana as Thomas Tuchel looks to compensate for the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but this window is due to slam shut at the end of the month.
According to The Telegraph, Leicester City have rejected a third bid from the Blues for the defender. The report states that the west Londoners' offer is thought to be in the region of £70million, including add-ons.
It's said that Brendan Rodgers is currently deciding whether Fofana will be available to face Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, having been dropped for the Foxes' clash with Southampton. Speaking to the press ahead of Leicester's meeting with the Saints, Rodgers admitted the defender was not in the right frame of mind to feature amid an increasingly uncertain future at the club.
