Wesley Fofana: Leicester fans make feelings towards defender clear with brutal gesture during Chelsea clash

• Wesley Fofana was subjected to a nasty song by irate Leicester fans on Saturday
• The defender is on the verge of sealing a move to Chelsea, ending his stint at the King Power Stadium

Wesley Fofana got a taste of exactly what Leicester fans think of him as he inches closer to completing a move to Chelsea.

After weeks of speculation, the two clubs have reportedly agreed on a fee of £70million plus add ons for the talented centre-back.

As was the case in the 2-1 defeat against Southampton, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers decided to omit Fofana from the matchday squad altogether.

This, however, did not stop Leicester fans from making their feelings about the defender clear during the game.

Reports in recent weeks have suggested Fofana, 21, is growing desperate to join Thomas Tuchel’s squad.

He is reportedly set to pen a stunning six-year deal at Stamford Bridge that will see him stay at the club until 2028.

Notably, boos also rang out at Stamford Bridge on Saturday on former Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell as he warmed up near the away supporters.

But it was not all gloom at Stamford Bridge, as some Chelsea players actually expressed excitement at the prospect of Fofana.

Reece James in particular donned a hairstyle that has previously been spotted on Fofana.

As far as the game was concerned, it as Chelsea who emerged on top thanks to two Raheem Sterling goals.

After a goalless first half, Sterling turned up the style in the second period, finding the opener with a fine curler that took a slight deflection on the way in.

The England winger then made a trademark run in the box to get to the end of a brilliant move for a tap in, with the Blues going 2-1 up despite playing with 10 men after the dismissal of Conor Gallagher in the first half.
