Leicester slap £85MILLION price tag on Chelsea target Wesley Fofana... as the Blues seek other targets after missing out on new Barcelona signing Jules Kounde

Chelsea are continuing talks with Leicester over signing defender Wesley Fofana after Jules Kounde snubbed a move to Stamford Bridge to sign for Barcelona earlier this week.

The Blues are believed to be prepared to offer players as part of a deal in a bid to lure the 21-year-old away from the King Power Stadium. 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 reportedly not interesting in letting the young prospect leave without garnering a significant fee.
