Wesley Fofana: French defender signs Leicester contract extension

Wesley Fofana has signed a two-year contract extension with Leicester City which will keep the French defender at the club until 2027.

The 21-year-old centre-back joined Leicester from Saint-Etienne in 2020 and made 38 appearances in his first year at the club.

However, he has not played this season after breaking his leg in a pre-season friendly against Villarreal in August.

"I'm really happy to sign a new contract," said Fofana.

"It shows the club have confidence in me offering me a contract to 2027. I'm really happy to be here.

"It's my club, I love the fans, so I'm really happy and really looking forward to being back playing.
