Seriously injured in the fibula a year ago, Wesley Fofana had a difficult month which kept him away from English pitches. It also broke his rise to the France team. The defender knows it and he is ready to leave Leicester to find the Blues.
Coming from a formidable generation from Saint-Etienne who won the Gambardella in 2019, Wesley Fofana is surely one of the greatest French talents in central defense. At 21, the beautiful trajectory that was promised to him, however, experienced a big setback. Indeed, last August, he fractured his fibula in a friendly match with his club Leicester. A hard blow which made him miss a good part of the past season but above all prevented him from enjoying a first selection in the French team. As the World Cup in Qatar approaches, Fofana would like to catch the eye of Didier Deschamps again.
Fofana targeted by Chelsea, PSG on the lookout
And what could be better than a resounding transfer to a major European club. The Leicester defender is closely followed by Chelsea who are considering signing him, especially if the Blues fail to sign Presnel Kimpembe from PSG. According the team, Fofana is seriously considering the option of leaving with the clear objective of returning to play in Blue.

The Foxes would claim 60 million euros to sell their French defender. A logical sum given that Fofana is linked with Leicester until 2027. A price within reach of the Blues but also of Paris Saint-Germain. Because the PSG and Luis Campos are also on the spot especially if the transfer of Milan Skriniar does not conclude quickly, Inter not letting go of anything in this file, the cost of which would however be similar. Manchester City is also one of the suitors for the former AS Saint-Etienne player. One thing is certain, Wesley Fofana does not lack solutions to revive and return to the fore in order to have what he wants more than anything, namely to play the 2022 World Cup at the end of the year in Qatar with the team. of France.
