Fabrizio Romano: “Announcement is imminent” for new Chelsea signing anytime soon
He made the crucial “here we go” call for an impending new Chelsea signing last week. He stated today that the club would be making an announcement shortly.
However, Fabrizio Romano, via his latest newsletter today, says Chelsea are about to announce the signing of Wesley Fofana from Leicester City any moment now after agreeing a fee with his club over the weekend.
It’s been one of those transfer sagas and we will all be very pleased to finally see it officially over, and even more so, that he will be ending up as a Chelsea player. Many of these sagas have just fizzled out or seen the player go elsewhere, so most Chelsea fans are just hanging on to this official announcement before celebrating the signing!
Fofana will arrive for £70m plus add-ons and in the grand scheme of things, seeing as some outlets were saying it would take north of £80m for Leicester to accept the deal, then this isn’t too bad.
