Chelsea are weighing up a move for Leicester defender Wesley Fofana as they widen their search for a second centre back addition.

The Blues are considering testing Leicester’s resolve to hang on to their talented young centre back, with Jules Kounde increasingly likely to join Barcelona.

Fofana has now emerged as one of the latest names in Chelsea’s sights in their bid to bolster their defence after losing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer.
