Wesley Fofana is NOT for sale say Leicester amid interest from Chelsea, as the Blues look for an alternative to Jules Kounde

Leicester have no plans to consider bids for Wesley Fofana amid interest in the defender from Chelsea.

The Blues have turned their attention to Fofana, 21, with top target Jules Kounde preferring to join Barcelona from Sevilla.

Chelsea are also monitoring France centre back Presnel Kimpembe, 26, who has two years remaining on his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.

Leicester are not interested in selling Wesley Fofana as he recently signed a five-year deal

Yet after agreeing a new five-year deal with Fofana in March, Leicester have little desire to entertain a sale as things stand.

The Foxes have a reputation for negotiating high prices for their best players.
