Chelsea and Leicester have finally reached an agreement on the signing of Wesley Fofana after making numerous offers. As they try to replace the void left by the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, the Blues are in dire need of a defender.
The 21-year-old, who grew up supporting the Blues, now has the price Chelsea and Leicester have agreed. The deal was met by Chelsea's offer of £70m with an additional £10m.
The unique thing is that today Chelsea and Leicester will both be competing in their fourth game of the season which will take place at home to Chelsea today.
Will the 21-year-old player also be used in today's match or will he serve as a substitute first? But it would be better if the player was immediately used in the match if Chelsea really needed a reliable defender.
I don't really know why fofana is very expensive,for me he is not outstanding to much for his market value to be so high like that, you can get better quality less than that price but I think is him or no one in Thomas Tuchel's eyes, I don't think Brendan Rodgers will include him in his game plan because the deal has already been agreed, even last week Brendan Rodgers didn't include him in their game because he feared that he might not be at the right state of mind to involve talk less of now the deal is done. I don't think he can fixture for Chelsea too because the deal has not materialize and not official yet.
Wesley Fofana has an expensive price because from the start Leicester did not plan to sell Fofana in this year's transfer market. But because
Chelsea continued to offer up to 3 times, and it was reported that Fofana had also reached a personal agreement with Chelsea. That made Fofana
not come to training since last week and Fofana insists on moving to Chelsea. This makes Leicester accept the latest offer from Chelsea 80 million
pounds, and it is reported that Fofana will be contracted by Chelsea until 2028. But this made Brendan Rodgers disappointed, because Wesley Fofana
was not as professional as Harry Maguire when he moved to Man United. No wonder Fofana was left out when Leicester faced Southampton,
and now Rodgers is pitching Fofana to Leicester's Under-21 team. What is certain is that in the near future after completing some documents,
Chelsea will officially get Fofana from Leicester. Fofana's transfer value will make him the most expensive defender in the world after Harry Maguire
and Virgil Van Dijk.
