Wesley Fofana has dropped a major transfer clue as the Leicester City star starts to think about forcing the issue with the defender currently 'frustrated' by the Foxes' stance amid a Chelsea stand-off.
It's been well known for some time now that the 21-year-old is Thomas Tuchel's next dream signing not only to complete his defensive re-jig this summer but to change the age 'profile' and dynamic going forward for the next few years. "We could use one more central defender; if you look at the numbers and that we play with a back three," Tuchel said before Spurs in his pre-match press conference. "The profile of the guys in the three is a little bit different, I admit.
"We can play with Azpi (Cesar Azpilicueta), who is more a full-back than a central defender. (Marc) Cucurella, it's possible too [to play on the side of a back three]. Both of them cannot play as the middle central defender. So we could use one more central defender. Let's see what happens." With this in mind, new owner Todd Boehly alongside trying to make progress on the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deal, is focussing in on making what he sees as an acceptable and hopefully final next offer to Leicester for the French defender. The Blues have already seen two bids turned down.
