Medical TODAY, announcement on Monday as Chelsea set to complete £70M signing
According to the latest reports, Chelsea are set to complete the signing of another new player on Monday.
The Blues have had a very good transfer window so far and it only looks to be getting even better in the final week.
Wesley Fofana is expected to arrive from Leicester City to become a Blues player after taking his medical today (Sunday). This is according to the latest report from French publication L’Equipe.
They say that Chelsea will pay an estimated £70M for Fofana in full within a year. Paying so much so soon is seen as rare for such a big transaction. Chelsea hope to formalise the move by Monday, maybe sooner.
Fofana would have been watching his pending new team beat his current team 2-1 with ten men yesterday at Stamford Bridge. Of course, the player was not involved due to the current situation and has been pushing for this move.
Wesley Fofana medical as new Chelsea player has been scheduled today, as expected – the main part will be completed in the next hours, contracts will be signed also on player side right after. 🚨🔵🩺 #CFC
