Chelsea have been strongly linked with a move for Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.

Chelsea had seen a bid of £60m rejected for  Wesley Fofana, but the Blues are still pushing to make the transfer happen this summer.

Fofana’s transfer value is high, having only signed a new long-term contract back in March.

According to football.london, Chelsea are prepared to break the world record fee for a defender in order to secure the signature of Fofana.

According to reports from France, French giants Paris Saint-Germain are ready to rival Chelsea for this transfer.

According to the Le Parisian, PSG are now considering a move for Fofana after being surprised that Leicester would listen to offers.

The Ligue 1 giants are looking to freshen up their defence, and are said to be monitoring the events concerning Fofana.
