Leicester fans will be delighted to hear this from Wesley Fofana
Leicester City fans will be delighted to hear that the Premier League’s most exciting defensive prospect, Wesley Fofana, is very happy with the Foxes.
Sorry, I made an error there: Fofana is not the best potential future centre-back in the English top-flight – he’s the foremost candidate at centre-half on the planet. Honestly.
And you haven’t got to take just my word for it, either. Preeminent pundits and ex-professionals working for prominent companies also agree that the 20-year-old is a special talent: Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp and Gary Lineker being among them.
The next emotion for the Blue Army to feel after being overjoyed at the incredible impact of a signing such as the Frenchman – is worry. You can guess what that concern would be: losing the player to a club like Manchester United, City or Chelsea. Regardless of that working out for Leicester in the past.
Wesley Fofana happy at Leicester City
Thankfully for the Foxes faithful, Fofana is ‘really happy’ on Filbert Way:
"“That’s what’s great about this club, that everybody has been so nice and welcoming, and that I’ve been able to learn so much.“I’m really happy and very proud of what this team is achieving.”– Wesley FofanaVia lcfc.com"
Expect a Foxes signing in last week of transfer window
In his most recent back and forth with the football media, the Northern Irishman in charge at Leicester says that the club is determined to sign a player in the next seven days. Obviously that’s the final week the January transfer market’s window is open for business to EPL clubs.
An attacking midfielder is the role Rodgers wants to fill on Filbert Way. Famous athletes in that position such as former-Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen – who is currently at Inter Milan – and Real Madrid’s Martin Odegaard were linked. But Foxes of Leicester doubts that either of those moves will transpire.
