Wesley Fofana is set to undergo his Chelsea medical.

Transfer panel discuss whether Wesley Fofana can improve the Chelsea defence as he edges closer to a move to Stamford Bridge and set for Chelsea medical in USA

Fofana is set to undergo his Chelsea medical today ahead of a £70m move from Leicester.

Fofana has reportedly flown to the USA for the tests.

Chelsea and Leicester reached a verbal agreement on Friday after a protracted saga over his valuation. Leicester had wanted more than the £80m they got from Manchester United for Harry Maguire.

This had frustrated the player and he was left out of the last two games against Chelsea and Southampton.

But Fofana is now expected to sign a six-year deal as a Chelsea player and fulfil his dream of emulating Didier Drogba by playing for the club.
Drogba is considered a legend in Fofana's hometown of Marseille.
