Chelsea have completed the signing of Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana on a seven-year contract, the club announced on Wednesday.
Chelsea has agreed to a fee in the range of £75 million for Fofana after Leicester demanded the same £80m fee they received for defender Harry Maguire when he moved to Manchester United in 2019.
Fofana, 21, joins Chelsea after spending the past two seasons at the King Power Stadium following his move from then-Ligue 1 club Saint-Etienne.
Wesley Fofana has also signed the contract as new Chelsea player, all completed with Leicester — he will be unveiled by CFC on Wednesday. 🚨🔵 #CFC
Fofana can be considered Chelsea player now.
