Timothée Kolodziejczak says St Etienne teammate Wesley Fofana has his support.
The young defender has spoken openly of his wish to leave for Leicester City this summer.
And fullback Kolodziejczak told RMC: "There are controversies, yes.
"It is like that during the transfer window, a lot of things are said.
“Like the Wesley Fofana case. He's young. He spoke to L'Equipe but is putting it behind him. It shows his strong mentality. It's good for him."
