Chelsea target Fofana fuels Leicester exit talk with social media move

Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana has fuelled talk of a move to Chelsea.

The Frenchman has emerged as a top target for Chelsea after they missed out on several other centre-backs this summer.

And Fofana has added fuel to the flames by removing Leicester from his Twitter bio on Tuesday.

Fofana, 21, has also posted cryptic posts on his Instagram page.

One post read: "'My father told me you're going to annoy a lot of people when you start doing what's best for you and I've begun to realise it."

Leicester are demanding at least £85m for Fofana.

The Blues are willing to meet that price, and Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted the club need to balance their books this summer.
