Fofana also appeared to criticise Leicester and manager Brendan Rodgers for their handling of the long-running transfer saga. "He's 21, he's going to have a big re-sale value if he does well at Chelsea. "I think it's the same with any player," he said. Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly added: "Wesley is a hugely-promising defender who has already proven his quality in the Premier League at a young age. "I understood and I learned. "I'm here to win trophies - the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. Fofana said: "The two last days have been really big days for me and I'm very happy.

It’s in that message that he appears to aim a dig at Leicester manager [Brendan Rodgers](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/all-about/brendan-rodgers). What a shoddy thing to say to the manager that gave him the platform to get this move. Fofana loved us so much, he couldn't even get the #LCFC hashtag correct on his posts. Leah : This is the first time I’ve genuinely felt angry towards a player leaving. He didn't turn up for training and that is by far super disrespectful. The 21-year-old also pushed for the move with the player spending the last couple of weeks of his time at the club training with the under-21s after failing to attend training ahead of the Premier League clash against Southampton. He agreed a plan then threw that all in disarray. Chris S : While I'm always sad to see a quality player leave us, I'd rather have people who want to play for us. He sat out the last three games against the Saints, Stockport County and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
