Brendan Rodgers 'will only be able to spend a THIRD of the £70m Leicester receive from Chelsea for Wesley Fofana on transfers'... with £15m Reims defender Wout Faes the only arrival expected before deadline

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is facing more transfer frustration after reportedly being told he can only invest a third of the £70million fee received from the sale of Wesley Fofana into his squad.

Chelsea will confirm a deal for French centre-back Fofana worth £70m plus add-ons on Wednesday after the 21-year-old completed his medical in New York.

Fofana is set to become the third sale at the King Power Stadium this summer, and the Foxes have yet to recruit an outfield player with goalkeeper Alex Smithies the only arrival so far.
