- Wesley Fofana was “signed” by us to Chelsea, and he made a huge difference.
- Chelsea reportedly turned their attention to Wesley Fofana of Leicester City after a move for Jules Kounde fell through, continuing Thomas Tuchel’s pursuit for a defender.
Tuchel seems to confirm his determination to continue improving his team for the upcoming season after a lacklustre preseason debut. The Blues replaced Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who left this summer, by signing Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli. However, with Cesar Azpilicueta also expected to go, the defence still needs more depth.
Kounde, a defender for Sevilla who has been wanted by the Blues since last summer, was Tuchel’s top target, but despite their best efforts, Barcelona has acquired the French international. Football.london now recognises that Chelsea.
are considering purchasing Leicester City’s Fofana, a talented French defender who is worth over £70 million.
