Leicester defender Wout Faes insists no regrets rejecting Chelsea

Leicester City defender Wout Faes has recalled turning down Chelsea.

Chelsea tried to sign him as a 16 year-old at Anderlecht.

He told the Telegraph: “Maybe if I had gone there I would have had more money, but that was not important.

"I wanted to have the best education and I knew that in Anderlecht they really counted on me and saw me as a future talent.

"It was more important to stay there and progress there. I never thought: 'I should have gone to Chelsea'. I have no regrets."
