Having played as a defensive midfielder in his youth career, Fofana broke into Saint-Etienne's first team on the right side of a back three. His passing has been less impressive, however that may be a product of the system in which he played for Leicester. The veteran ex-Arsenal forward is believed to be available - either on loan or permanently - as Barcelona look to cut costs following their own massive summer of transfers, while Chelsea are short on strike power. The Fofana deal takes Chelsea's total transfer spend to nearly £300m. The fee is said to be £70 million, with a further £5m in add-ons. Chelsea had endured a frustrating chase for a second centre-back this summer.

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.
