Chelsea signing Fofana fires message at Rodgers: I got it coach

Chelsea signing Wesley Fofana had a message for Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers today.

Fofana has left Leicester for Chelsea in a £75m deal.

Writing on his Instagram, the centre-back appeared to take aim at his former manager.

The Foxes boss made him train with the Under-23s and dropped him from the matchday squad because Fofana was trying to force his way out.

Rodgers also accused him of not turning up to training.

Fofana wrote: "I chose not to communicate during this transfer window despite all the criticism and all the often false and misleading comments, even when they were coming from the club.

"I understood and I learned.

"I didn't want to damage the image of the institution and I chose to take it rather than answer.

"Thanks to the managers, to the coach who has always appreciated me, even if he chose to expose me a lot lately... I got it coach."
