Wesley Fofana has made it clear to his club that he wants to leave this summer and join Chelsea, as if it wasn’t clear enough already.
The Guardian’s Jacob Steinberg has been all over this story from the start, and he writes today that the defender has told his club to let him go.
He’s already sent some pretty clear messages on and off the pitch – from going to greet the fans alone at full time of their match at the weekend, to posting sad looking social media pictures.
Now he’s apparently said it to them face to face in plain English, and it’s just down to Chelsea to make the offer that forces Leicester’s hand.
In that way, much like the legendary “transfer request,” this doesn’t change much. Leicester knew he wanted to go, and this hasn’t changed the amount of money they would be willing to accept to make a move happen.
