OFFICIAL: Wesley Fofana completes permanent move to Chelsea

Chelsea sign Wesley Fofana on a seven-year contract.

The Blues have agreed to sign Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana for a fee in the region of £75m.

The 21-year-old has penned a seven-year contract with the club.

He joins Chelsea after spending the last two seasons with the Foxes establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

Fofana said: “The two last days have been really big days for me and I’m very happy. I trained this morning with the team and it’s a dream for me. I’m very excited to start playing games for the fans and the club.

“I’m here to win trophies – the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. I came here to win and the club is built to win trophies so I’m here to continue that.”

“Wesley is a hugely promising defender who has already proven his quality in the Premier League at a young age,” Boehly said in an announcement.

“We are delighted we were able to bring one of Europe’s most exciting talents to Chelsea and further strengthen that area of our squad, both for this season and many more to come.”
