Journalist Jacob Steinberg says that Leicester City's center-back Wesley Fofana has informed his team about his desire to join the London club Chelsea, which is interested in him. Meanwhile, the Foxes are holding firm and do not intend to let the 21-year-old Frenchman go for less than 80 million pounds sterling. Chelsea is currently considering whether it is worth putting up such a sum of money for the player, but according to Jacob Steinberg, the aristocrats will eventually be willing to accept Leicester City's conditions. Chelsea released center-backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer, so team manager Thomas Tuchel wants to buy at least one center-back during the current transfer window. Wesley Fofana is the main target of the German. Last season, due to a leg fracture, Fofana played just 12 matches and scored 1 goal.
