Chelsea are willing to offer Leicester defender Wesley Fofana more than £200,000-a-week to join, should the Foxes agree to sell centre-back to Stamford Bridge club

Chelsea are willing to offer Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana a staggering £200,000-a-week wages to join, should the Foxes agree to sell.

The 21-year-old has been a target for the Blues, as the club undergoes a major defensive reshuffle after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers this summer.

However, Leicester do not wish to sell the French youth international for less than £85million.

After spending most of last season out injured, Fofana signed a five-year contract with the Foxes in March, and Brendan Rodgers is not interested in letting the young prospect leave without garnering a significant fee.
