Wesley Fofana risks wrath of Chelsea bosses by prematurely announcing transfer

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana appears to have confirmed Edouard Mendy's exit before the club have made the move official.

Goalkeeper Mendy is on his way to the Saudi Pro League, with Al Ahli set to announce a deal for the Senegal international. The move would see him become the third Blues star to move to Saudi Arabia in this window, after N'Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly completed moves of their own.

With the £16m deal on the verge of completion, Chelsea will continue their efforts to trim the squad going into the new season. However, by breaking the news before the club did so, Fofana could find himself risking the wrath of the club's higher-ups.
