Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana has been urged to sign for Chelsea by close friends.

One boyhood friend has revealed Fofana has long been a Blues fan.

@nikoo25_, who the former Ligue 1 upcoming star follows on Instagram, posted a telling Insta story suggesting that the Frenchman's dreams since being a young age have been to play for Chelsea.

In the Instagram post, the player who has been hit with bad injury luck in recent times is told that "the new jersey will look good on you" in a mock-up wearing Chelsea's new kit, with a second photo showing him as a child wearing an old Chelsea top, accompanied by the caption: "Ever since you were a kid."
