Chelsea are set to sign Wesley Fofana from Leicester City in a deal that could be a world record one for a defender. It comes after weeks of talks between the two sides, with the 21-year-old making his intentions clear to Leicester that he'd like to join Chelsea.
The Blues have been in talks with the Foxes over a move for Fofana throughout the past month and have seen three previous offers rejected for the France Under-21 international.
football.london understands Chelsea returned with a fourth bid worth a guaranteed £70million and further add-ons that would take the transfer above the £80million that Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire in 20219. Leicester had accepted that offer, and now, his contract details have been revealed.
