Excited Chelsea Fans Troop to Social Media to Welcome Fofana

• Fans of Chelsea could not hide their sheer joy following news of the club's signing of Leicester City centre-half Wesley Fofana
• The France Under 21 defender was banished from training with the Leicester City first team earlier this week for trying to push for a move to Chelsea
• His posture has forced Leicester manager Brendan Rogers to exempt him from the weekend clash against his suitors, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

A truckload of Chelsea fans took to social media to express their delight following reports of the club's capture of summer target, Wesley Fofana from Chelsea.

Chelsea and Leicester City have agreed on a deal for priority target Wesley Fofana that could result in the defender becoming the world's most-expensive centre-back, reports Football London.

Leicester had rejected multiple bids from the Blues with the deal threatening to collapse with the Foxes' insistence on not selling their prized asset but it appears their resolve has been broken by Chelsea's financial pull.

Chelsea returned with a fourth bid worth a guaranteed £70 million and further add-ons that would take the transfer above the £80million that Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire in 2019.

Following multiple reports of Chelsea's capture of Fofana, Chelsea fans took to Twitter to rejoice over the club's transfer masterstroke.

Below are some of the comments from Twitter:

@CFCNewsReport tweeted:

"We finally have our man. Welcome to #Chelsea Fofana.."

@manuelad_26 added:

"Welcome to Chelsea Wesleyyyy."

Another user @sireCFC joined the bandwagon:

"It was always just a matter of time. Welcome to Chelsea Wesley!"

@JacksonChelse17 went a step further by aiming a sly dig at Man United:

"Welcome to Chelsea Wesley Fofana. He's better than Harry Maguire."

@StvrDenzel even predicted the Leicester City defender will achieve some individual accolades if the reports are to be believed:

Wesley Fofana receive punishment at Leicester for trying to force a move to Chelsea

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana has found himself in trouble for reportedly attempting to force a summer move to Chelsea.

Fofana has been a top transfer target for the Blues this summer, with Thomas Tuchel keen to add the youngster within his ranks after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

However, their push to land the Frenchman has proved futile, with Leicester rejecting three bids for Fofana.
