Chelsea are preparing to make a world-record offer for Leicester City’s French defender Wesley Fofana, reports Football London.
The Blues’ bid would be the highest fee paid for a defender, having had a previous offer declined by the Foxes.
It is believed Chelsea’s previous bid was £70m with Leicester insisting he is not for sale. Harry Maguire, sold by Leicester to Manchester United, holds the record for a defender at £80m.
