Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says Wesley Fofana has 'everything' to become a world-class centre-back.

Fofana, signed from St. Etienne last summer, already looks at home in the Foxes defence, despite only recently turning 20.

Rodgers was speaking after Fofana was dominant in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Chelsea.

"He has everything. I like my players to defend forward and be aggressive and he is all of that. Dominant in the air and has composure on the ball.

"I'm not happier than against anyone else. Chelsea were a great club for my coaching career. I know the quality of the club. It is nice to get the victory against a strong team.

"This gives the belief to the players. It keeps the momentum going and keeps the concentration. In order to stay there at the top you need desire and hunger and I feel we have seen that from the team."
