Wesley Fofana admission shows why £85m Chelsea transfer would be perfect move for Leicester star

Wesley Fofana has admitted that he wants to be the best defender in the world and compete for top trophies, something that Chelsea can help him aim for with the platform and security they can provide.

The Blues are very busy in the transfer market as their Premier League campaign kicks off this week against Everton. Marc Cucurella's addition means that five new players have been added to Thomas Tuchel's squad. But three more are being targeted to take the spending up towards the £300million mark. One of those targets is Leicester star Fofana who is reportedly open to the move.

The latest on the deal is that the Blues' second bid of around £70million was turned down by Brendan Rodgers and the Foxes board as they hold out for £80million which is a figure near his 'valuation.' Fofana himself has already dropped many social media hints to indicate his preference that he would like the chance to move on this summer, and he has outlined his ambition to make the French World Cup squad before going on to become one of the best players in the world - something Brendan Rodgers said was possible for the young star.
