'I know where the statement came from and it wasn't him': Brendan Rodgers claims Wesley Fofana was NOT responsible for parting shot at Leicester boss after sealing his £75m move to Chelsea as he insists defender is 'good kid'

Brendan Rodgers has defended his former player Wesley Fofana, saying the 21-year-old was not behind a statement which criticised Leicester City.

The French defender finalised a £75m move to Chelsea earlier this week, and issued a claim that the Foxes had made 'false and misleading statements' in the lead up to the transfer.

But speaking to BT Sport ahead of Leicester's fixture with Manchester United, Leicester manager Rodgers called Fofana a 'good kid', and said it was 'a shame' how things had ended between club and player.
