Wantaway Wesley Fofana watches Leicester defeat from the stands as he pushes to join Chelsea, refusing to celebrate the Foxes' opening goal before Brendan Rodgers refuses to rule out his departure

Wantaway Leicester defender Wesley Fofana watched his side's 2-1 defeat against Southampton from the stands today amid interest from Chelsea.

Fofana was left out the squad for the game after Foxes rejected two bids from the Blues to sign him, with reports suggesting Brendan Rodgers' side are holding out for £85million.

Rodgers has expressed his desire to keep Fofana, but the 21-year-old is seemingly set on leaving the club to sign for the two-time European champions.
