Tuchel interested in Chelsea move

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has sent a clear message to Chelsea about the possible signing of Wesley Fofana

The club have missed out on a number of potential signings and fans have become frustrated at the inability of Ted Boehly to get deals over the line – despite the fact that club have been leading the race for potential deals

And after missing out on Joules Kounde to Barcelona – we have moved on from the Frenchman and have now turned their attentions to the very impressive Fofana – the gifted young defender over at Leicester.

It is believed that the club are ready to pay the big money it would take t6o secure the services of Fofana – as he is a player that Thomas Tuchel really admires

But Rodgers – who previously worked as a coach at Stamford Bridge– says the Foxes have no intention of allowing the 21-year-old to leave the King Power Stadium – but does not know what the club actually has in store

Asked about the speculation surrounding his young defender, Rodgers replied: ‘Naturally, he’s a top talent.

‘He’s not for sale. He still has lots of improvements to make. He’s very happy here, he really enjoys being here.

‘Naturally he will attract the interest of other clubs. Our job, in not signing anyone so far, is to at least keep the players we have. I know that’s the intention of the club.’

No disrespect to Leicester – but if the club do actually come calling for Fofana over the next few weeks – he will find it very difficult to turn down the opportunity to join one of the best sides in Europe
