Leicester defender to undergo medical ahead of £70m move to ChelseaChelsea and Leicester on Friday agreed verbally on the transfer of Wesley Fofana;
the defender flies to the US for a medical check-up, according to The Athletic; Fofana will sign a six-year deal with the Blues. Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said last week:
"He won't be available at the weekend [against Chelsea] and has been training with the Under-23 side. My focus is on the players we have, and the team. I can't lose strength.
If something is done, it will be done with the clubs.
Until then, we'll just have to work with what we have.
Rodgers added, "Hopefully [there will be some transfer deals by the end of the window]. It would be very good for the team to be able to do that, it's always important to improve the squad.

But until that changes we will work with what we have.
Fofana is now expected to sign a six-year contract as a Chelsea player and fulfill his dream of emulating Didier Drogba by playing for the club. Drogba is a legend in Marseille, Fofana's hometown.
