Wesley Fofana’s Brendan Rodgers blast mirrors Moussa Dembele’s rant at then Celtic boss after Leicester transfer

Chelsea's new star Wesley Fofana has aired his frustration at Brendan Rodgers for his antics prior to his £75m move from Leicester on Wednesday, mirroring the exact same feelings that Moussa Dembele had when the Northern Irishman moved from Celtic to the Foxes back in 2019.

Fofana had excelled at the King Power Stadium following his £27m move from Saint Etienne in 2020, drawing plaudits from fans across the country for his cultured, composed performances at such a young age in what is often billed as the world's toughest league.. Despite breaking his leg last July, he came back midway through the season and continued where he left off to reignite interest from other clubs across the continent, with Chelsea fending off interest from Manchester United and Barcelona amongst others to secure his signature.

However, the move has not been straight forward; after signalling his intentions to leave the Midlands outfit, Fofana was forced to train with the under-23 squad whilst a decision on his future was made, and with Chelsea finally agreeing terms at the start of the week, his move to Stamford Bridge has been expedited before the deadline.
