Wesley Fofana moves to Chelsea in a deal worth £70m plus £5m in add-ons; Chelsea had three previous bids for the Leicester defender rejected by the Foxes; ...

He completed a permanent move to Leicester on a four-year deal from Monaco in the summer of 2019 after a successful initial six-month loan spell. Time is running out for clubs to do business in the transfer window. "He's a young lad, he's obviously got his agent in his ear advising him the approach to take, you would imagine that's the case. "He's made great strides at Leicester over the time he was at the King Power. "He might not get a great reception back at Leicester when he returns but not many players do. Fofana also appeared to criticise Leicester and manager Brendan Rodgers for their handling of the long-running transfer saga. "He's 21, he's going to have a big re-sale value if he does well at Chelsea. "I think it's the same with any player," he said. Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly added: "Wesley is a hugely-promising defender who has already proven his quality in the Premier League at a young age. "I understood and I learned. "I'm here to win trophies - the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. Fofana said: "The two last days have been really big days for me and I'm very happy.

Chelsea complete signing of Wesley Fofana from Leicester for £70m (Irish Examiner)

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Wesley Fofana from Leicester on a seven-year contract. The 21-year-old central defender has moved for £70m.

That has not deterred the club from trying to complete a deal and revive the career of a player who burst on to the scene under Frank Lampard in 2019-20, also impressing at international level with Scotland. Everton are also hoping to finalise a deal to re-sign the midfielder Idrissa Gueye from Paris Saint-Germain. Although Gilmour did not come off the bench, Chelsea are reluctant to sanction a move until they are confident he will not be required in the coming weeks. Gilmour is not in Thomas Tuchel’s plans and has been expected to depart on loan or in a longer-term move. Leicester’s only signing has been the backup goalkeeper Alex Smithies on a free but they have lined up Reims’ Wout Faes as a replacement for Fofana at centre-back and are pushing for Boga. Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Wesley Fofana from Leicester on a seven-year contract.

He said: "Any environment where you can develop has to be stable. "I was hoping he would be (staying) as he's a top-class operator, he's someone we'd like to have improved and developed. We have talented players but it doesn't count for anything if you are not together. Then you have players in the last year of their contract.
