Chelsea to submit massive fourth offer to sign top transfer target

Chelsea are expected to return with a fourth bid for Leicester City star Wesley Fofana, according to journalist Simon Phillips.

With the fact that Thomas Tuchel knows that he needs to keep adding to his squad over the next couple of days – adding a new defender to that back-line is high up on the list of things to do

And that has led to many reports in the media that Fofana is the man that Tuchel would most like to bring to Stamford Bridge – believing he is the ideal player to replace the aging Thiago Silva

The club have already had a bid of £50 million and £60 million rejected by the Foxes as they want some serious money for the lad – but it has been claimed on the Sky Sports website that Chelsea offered £70 million for the Frenchman

However – all those bids have been rejected by Leicester over the past few weeks as the Foxes do not want to sell the player – but if you believe the words of Phillips – the Blues will submit another offer for the powerhouse

He told GIVEMESPORT: “I’m told that Chelsea will go back in for a fourth bid and there is optimism from my sources that the deal will still get done.

“They expect Leicester to drop their demands slightly, given Fofana is so desperate to leave and he’s doing all he can his end to do that right now.”

There are better players out there that could be signed for far less – that have proven themselves at the very highest level of the game and quite honestly are just better than Fofana
