After missing out on Jules Kounde, Chelsea are now set to turn their attention elsewhere in the summer transfer market. The Blues are set to hold talks with the entourage of Wesley Fofana this week as they hope to lure the Leicester City defender to Stamford Bridge.
Fofana is a long-term target of Chelsea's, football.london understands, and the Blues are now considering making a big-money move for the 21-year-old. The Frenchman recently signed a two-year contract extension at the King Power Stadium with his deal now running all the way until the summer of 2027.
This means the Foxes are in a very strong position regarding the sale of Fofana, and they will not be pressured into offloading the former Saint-Etienne man. Chelsea, though, are considering testing Leicester's resolve.
