Chelsea have finally acquired their man as the club announced on Wednesday, August 31 that Wesley Fofana had passed his medical and was the club’s new signing. The Frenchman comes to Stamford Bridge after Chelsea and Leicester City agreed a fee in the region of £70m.
According to the club website, Fofana has signed a staggering seven-year deal at Chelsea. One of the Premier League’s most highly rated young players, Fofana arrives to further bolster Thomas Tuchel’s defence for the 2022/23 season, following the arrivals of Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella earlier in the summer.
Fofana, 21, is seen as a bright prospect in football, and this would explain why Leicester City held on to him for so long before agreeing to a proper deal. He is the perfect addition for Thomas Tuchel’s side, which is keen to revamp after losing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen in the summer. Fofana will now join the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly and Thiago Silva at the heart of Chelsea’s defence. The Blues also signed Marc Cucurella from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer.
