 Chelsea are nearing a full agreement with Leicester City for the transfer of Wesley Fofana, with the Midlands club entertaining a fourth bid of around £75m for the defender.⚽

Personal terms with Chelsea have long been arranged with the Frenchman, although the London club have not finalised any add-ons with their opponents on Saturday.

Brendan Rodgers said Wesley Fofana will not be involved against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as the defender continues to train with Leicester’s under-23s. Rodgers said the situation with Fofana was “totally different” from when Leicester sanctioned Harry Maguire’s sale to Manchester United for £80m.For more info, read here

Rodgers said he would consider bringing back Fofana when the 21-year-old centre-back was “ready to commit to the team.” Fofana did not turn up for one training session last week and trained alone during another. He is understood to be keen on joining Chelsea.For More info, click here
