Wesley Fofana is a defender  joined Chelsea from Leicester City in late August 2022, signing a seven-year contract with the club.

His arrival added further strength to Chelsea’s defence, following the earlier signings of Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella that summer.

Fofana had previously made a significant impact in the Premier League with Leicester, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most promising young defenders. Before making the move to Chelsea, he had impressed during his time in France with Saint-Étienne, where his talent first caught the eye. Upon joining Leicester, Fofana continued to grow as a defender, becoming a key figure for the Foxes.

He was named Leicester’s Young Player of the Year for the 2020/21 season, highlighting his rapid development. One of his standout performances came in the 2021 FA Cup final against Chelsea, where he played a crucial role in helping Leicester secure their first-ever FA Cup title, defeating Chelsea 1-0.

At Chelsea, Fofana was expected to continue his rise as one of the top young defenders in the Premier League. His blend of physicality, composure on the ball, and versatility at the back made him an important addition to the squad.
