A number of first team players have already left Chelsea, and it looks as if they are not done yet.
Conor Gallagher is finalising his move away to Atletico Madrid, after seemingly being forced out by the club after not signing a new contract.
It was always going to be the case that a number of stars would be casualties to the club’s new way of operating, with a whole host of players joining the club every single transfer window.
Even some of those stars look as if they are going to be on the move though, with reports linking a number of players with both temporary and permanent moves being discussed.
One of those linked with a move away is David Datro Fofana, who has not been able to make any real impact at Stamford Bridge so far.
Leicester favourites to sign David Datro Fofana
Fabrizio Romano has now stated that Leicester City are the side who are favourites to bring him in this summer.
He said: “David Datro Fofana, expected to leave Chelsea this summer on loan with possible obligation-to-buy clause.
“Understand Leicester City are currently leading the race with Stuttgart and Villarreal also interested.”
Leicester are back in the Premier League this season after their promotion last season, which was led by current Blues manager Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea’s poaching of their biggest names did not stop there though, with them also signing their best player in the form of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Chelsea impressed by Marc Guiu
Fofana had a promising spell on loan at Burnley last season despite their relegation, with him proving he can certainly find the net in the Premier League.
He was described during this time as ‘outstanding’ by then manager Vincent Kompany, who is now at Bayern Munich.
It does not look likely that this will be at Chelsea though, with them recently adding Marc Guiu as a young striker to their ranks who is currently impressing out during the pre-season tour of the United States.
