Report: Leicester Manager Brendan Rodgers Gives Wesley Fofana Reason Not To Join Chelsea

As per The Athletic, Rodgers has argued to Fofana that the best chance for the defender to get into the France National Team.

The Frenchman has yet to appear for the senior team, having played for the eldest youth level.

The Foxes boss is likely talking about the centreback's likelihood of playing first team football, as Chelsea are more likely to rotate the star compared to his predominant role in the Leicester set-up.

The London Outfit are interested in the young ace after an exodus of defensive players this summer.

The departure of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively has left the Blues shorthanded.

The addition of Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly has strengthened the side, but with the imminent exit of Marcos Alonso, the side still find themselves shorthanded.

If the club can attract Fofana to London, the young talent could become a key part of the Chelsea team for years to come.
