'He's gonna have a massive future at our club': Ben Chilwell heaps praise on Wesley Fofana as Chelsea's new £75m defender impresses with 'brilliant performance' in debut win over West Ham

Ben Chilwell believes Wesley Fofana has a big future ahead of him at Chelsea, and praised his quick integration into Thomas Tuchel's plans.

Defender Fofana made his debut for the Blues in their 2-1 home win over West Ham on Saturday after completing a £75million move from Leicester.

Chilwell previously played for Leicester City, but left the club for Chelsea less than two months before Fofana joined the Foxes in October 2020.

Now in the same team at the same time, Chilwell was impressed by the performance of his new 21-year-old colleague, particularly because the French defender had very little time with the squad before being thrown into 90 minutes of action.
