In the wake of passing up Jules Kounde, Chelsea are presently set to turn their consideration somewhere else in the mid year move market. The Blues are set to hold converses with the escort of Wesley Fofana this week as they desire to bait the Leicester City safeguard to Stamford Bridge.

Fofana is a drawn out focus of Chelsea's, football.london comprehends, and the Blues are currently considering bringing in a major cash move for the 21-year-old. The Frenchman as of late marked a two-year agreement expansion at the King Power Stadium with his arrangement currently running as far as possible until the mid year of 2027.

This implies the Foxes are in an exceptionally impressive position in regards to the offer of Fofana, and they won't be constrained into offloading the previous Saint-Etienne man. Chelsea, however, are thinking about testing Leicester's determination.

A move wouldn't be modest. Simply check Leicester's past business out. The club sold Harry Maguire for a world-record £80million to Manchester United in 2019 - and it is figured Leicester would request something almost identical, maybe much more, for Fofana.

In the event that past remarks are anything to go by, notwithstanding, Fofana might be excited about moving to Stamford Bridge. In a meeting with Actufoot last year, Fofana named Chelsea as one of his "fantasy" objections.

"A club that makes me dream? There's Marseille, Real Madrid, Barca," Fofana said. "In the Premier League, there are Chelsea, [Manchester] United, [Manchester] City... In any case, you need to attempt to make your fantasies materialize. Through work, you can accomplish anything."
