Wesley Fofana, thanks to the move to the London club, has become one of the most expensive defensive players.
Premier League clubs continue to spend on players in this transfer window. Just yesterday, Manchester United acquired the Ajax midfielder for 100 million euros, and now Chelsea has taken up the baton of overspending.
The Londoners have completed the transfer of Leicester defender Wesley Fofan. This was reported by the press service of the club. As expected, the player became one of the most expensive defensive players in history.
The value of the transaction is estimated at 70+5 million pounds. The contract with the player is signed for seven years.
Welcome Wesley! 😁#FofanaIsChelsea

Note that Fofana had a very serious injury last season, that’s why he only played 12 matches last season and scored 1 goal.
The defender’s transfer has been the third most expensive of all central defenders. Only Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk are more expensive.
