Chelsea’s interest in Leicester City centre-back has taken over the rumor mill. It’s time we tell the tale of why we can’t even comprehend losing a starter.
Even after missing several crucial months due to injury, the importance of Wesley Fofana at Leicester cannot be overstated enough. Those who have seen the centre-back play can vouch that he is a player who matured well beyond his years.
Ignazio Genuardi reported that Chelsea has reached an agreement with the player but can’t get the talks to progress further as they won’t want to be in a relegation battle in 2022/23. LCFC are also not interested in selling him.
