Fofana on United, Chelsea radar

Man Utd and Chelsea interested in Leicester star?

08 June 2022 - 20:27

Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked with a summer move for Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana.

  • Mikel Arteta insists 27yo star won't be leaving Arsenal
  • Omari Hutchinson wants to continue at Ipswich Town



  • The duo are expected to sign a new central defender, and they have already been linked with multiple names abroad.

    According to RMC Sport, Fofana is also on the radar of the Premier League giants, but he won't come on the cheap.

    The Frenchman suffered a serious injury in pre-season last year, and he did not make a competitive appearance until April 2022.

    His return to the playing field coincided with the Foxes' improved league form as they finished eighth in the standings.

    The former Saint-Etienne man was valued at around £50m last summer, but the Foxes are set to demand more this time.

    He put pen-to-paper on a new deal until June 2027 in March. It is claimed that it would take at least £68.5m to prise him away.

    Both United and Chelsea have been long-term admirers, and it remains to be seen whether either will make a serious move for him.
