Chelsea target Wesley Fofana appears to have parted ways with Leicester.
The French defender is strongly linked with a £80 million transfer to Chelsea.

The Foxes lost 4-2 to Emirates after a dizzying double by Gabriel Jesus.
There was little Fofana, 21, could do about the Brazilian’s brilliance as he hit two at home in the first half.
Or goals of Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli in the second half.
James Maddison scored for Leicester, contributing to an own goal from William Saliba, but Arsenal were just too much on the day.
Brendan Rodgers is adamant that Fofana will not leave cheaply after admitting the club already has KO bids from Chelsea.
But Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is widely expected to get his man when they come back with a fee in the region of £80million.
They have allegedly agreed terms with the player themselves, but the clubs are still working on an agreement.
Chelsea have already signed Kalidou Koulibaly this summer for £35 million, but have lost the likes of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

Van Tuchel is known to play with three in the back, so he must be better supplies in the centerhalf.
Fofana joined the Foxes from Saint-Etienne in October 2020, but suffered a broken leg in August last year.
