Chelsea’s attempts to sign Wesley Fofana from Leicester City have gone rather quiet over the last week or so.
It’s probably perfectly normal for a deal that could end up being so highly expensive, but some fans have been left wondering whether Chelsea will still be trying to sign another new centre back, which is something that Thomas Tuchel has made clear that he still wants.
Sources: Chelsea in talks with Celtic involving two players.
Well, Fofana IS still being targeted and worked on, according to the most recent report from The Independent.
The story confirms Chelsea’s attempts to sign Anthony Gordon, as well as reporting that Chelsea are in negotiations with Barcelona over a deal for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while the quest to prise Wesley Fofana away from Leicester also continues.
It’s refreshing to see that a deal for Fofana is still being worked on, because this is a priority for Tuchel, and Chelsea should get this over the line.
