St Etienne defender Wesley Fofana is being backed over his push to join Leicester City.

Fofana has publicly declared he wishes to be allowed to move to the Foxes this summer.

French pundit Pierre Menes told Canal+: "Leicester is not nothing, but it is not Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal. But given his level, he is still guaranteed to have a real playing time.

"He does not go on an adventure like some players do when they go abroad. And above all, it's when I see the reaction of the supporters, if we can call these donkeys supporters, that he does not go. His little sister was threatened at school anyway, it goes a long way.

"It is certain that he must really want to leave, Fofana."
