“He’s a great player” “he will help Reece James in this area” – Former Chelsea player reveals as Chelsea close to secure 75M signing
According to latest reports, Wesley Fofana, a defender for Leicester City, will soon be signed by Chelsea.
However, The 21-year-old center defender from Leicester City and Chelsea has reached an agreement on a transfer fee.
Fofana’s signing required a massive £75 million bid, as the club had already had three bids turned down.
According to Green, a former goalkeeper for Chelsea, Reece James will perform at his peak as soon as Fofana joins the team.
James is frequently used as a right center-back by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel to counteract the offensive danger posed by specific teams.
James will now have plenty of time to explore down the flank, though, thanks to Fofana.
Rob Green told the BBC: “[Chelsea] are playing catch-up and have to pay the money.”
“They will get a great player. He immediately ticks the boxes and is also one of the future.
“Reece James’ quality is on the ball. Wesley Fofana ticks a box for the centre-half position but also strengthens elsewhere as James can go forward.”
