Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: 'Fofana is not for sale'

Chelsea are reportedly interested in Wesley Fofana as the last defensive signing of the summer. However, Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has made it clear that the centre-back is not for sale.

“Wesley Fofana and James Maddison are not for sale. These are very important players to us,” Rodgers told The Times.

“We’re in a situation where we need to move some players out but that doesn't mean getting rid of anyone, our best assets.”

Leicester reportedly want a world-record fee of over £80m for Fofana. Multiple sources such as Nizaar Kinsella have said that this signing is going to be very difficult for Chelsea - but not impossible.
