Brendan Rodgers hints Wesley Fofana's £75m move to Chelsea could be official over the weekend, with the Leicester boss admitting he wants deal finalised soon as ongoing speculation had made season difficult

Brendan Rodgers is hoping for a swift finish to the Wesley Fofana saga and hinted the situation could become clearer by the end of the weekend.

Chelsea made a breakthrough in their long-running attempts to land the Leicester defender on Friday with the two clubs agreeing a deal worth around £75m, the Londoners having had three previous offers rejected. Chelsea have already agreed a six-year deal with Fofana worth about £200,000 per week.

The transfer window does not close until Thursday — the same day Leicester host Manchester United.
