Wesley Fofana has revealed he had no intentions of leaving Leicester City.

The French defender, 21, penned a long-term extension with Leicester on Monday, keeping him at the club until 2027.

Chelsea and Real Madrid were reportedly keen on moving for Fofana, but the former St Etienne man insists he loves Leicester.

"I'm really happy to sign a new contract. It shows the Club have confidence in me offering me a contract to 2027," Fofana told the club's website.

"I'm really happy to be here. It's my Club, I love the fans, so I'm really happy and really looking forward to being back playing.

"I love everything about the Club. I love the city, I love the fans. It's a family which is what I love the most. Everyone is close and gets on well. We also have a great team and are continuing to progress, with a desire to win more trophies.

"That's why I have committed my future to the Club until 2027. I want to achieve more with the Club. There is a lot of talent here and still a lot more we can do together."
