Breaking: Chelsea Agrees Deal With €80m-rated Wesley Fofana

Chelsea Football Club on Tuesday evening reached an agreement on personal terms with Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana reports Prime Business Africa.

Fofana is a target for the Blues who are hoping to shore up their backline after missing out on a number of other transfer options.

However Leicester who are yet to sign an outfield player this transfer window are adamant that they are not willing to sell their prized asset.

The Foxes value the French youth international of Ivorians heritage at €80m and are not wiling to go below that valuation if they indeed end up doing business with the London side.

Reports in the English media showed that Fofana is keen on making the move to Stamford Bridge where he will play in the UEFA Champions League albeit is not guaranteed a regular playing time ahead of the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly and Thiago Silva.

Chelsea lost Andreas Christensen to Barcelona and also saw their interest in Joules Kounde hijacked by the La Liga giants.
