Leicester City star Wout Faes has insisted that he has no regrets snubbing a move to Chelsea as a teenager. The 24-year-old joined the Foxes on summer transfer deadline day from Stade Reims as a direct replacement for Wesley Fofana, who joined the Blues a few weeks earlier.
In an interview with the Guardian, Faes revealed that he turned down an offer from the west Londoners after impressing at a tournament in Scotland with the Belgium Under-17s. The defender, who was with Anderlecht at the time, impressed Chelsea scouts so much that the club sent him a signed David Luiz shirt once he turned 16.
"We have similar hair so maybe that is why," Faes said. "Since then, people who I don’t really know always ask the same questions. I can understand it because he was a very big player and he’s played for almost all of the big teams in England but for me it’s important to make my own name."
