Leicester not looking to sell Fofana, says coach Brendan Rodgers

The Hindu  

Leicester City is not looking to sell defender Wesley Fofana and have rejected two bids for the defender, manager Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday. Currently, the most expensive defender in the league is Harry Maguire, who joined Manchester United from Leicester City for €87 million in 2019. “He’s a top young defender, and there are not too many around his age.” Leicester signed Fofana on a five-year deal from St Etienne in October 2020 and finished fifth in the Premier League as he was named their Young Player of the Season. He understands where we are as a club and where we see him.” Fofana suffered a fractured fibula in a 2021 pre-season friendly against Villarreal that kept him on the sidelines until March.
