Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Wesley Fofana as they prepare to potentially launch a move for the Leicester centre-back, according to reports from France.
The ball-playing defender has slowly worked his way towards the top of Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist after the Blues saw their £55million move for Jules Kounde hijacked.
Fofana enjoyed a spellbinding debut Premier League campaign following his 2020 move from Saint-Etienne before he suffered a broken leg this time last year in Leicester’s pre-season friendly against Villarreal.
But since then, Fofana has begun to show his class again after returning for the final months of the 2020/21 campaign.
Chelsea are now considering a swoop for the 21-year-old as Tuchel targets another central defender to play alongside Kalidou Koulibaly and Thiago Silva.
According to French journalist Ignazio Genuardi, Fofana already has an agreement with Chelsea on personal terms.
