Chelsea reportedly steal a march on Manchester United in the race for Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.

Chelsea are reportedly ahead of Manchester United in the race for Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.

The 20-year-old only joined the Foxes from Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2020 but is already being linked with an exit amid an impressive spate of performances.

Real Madrid have been strongly linked with a swoop for Fofana - currently out with a fractured fibula - while Man United have also been credited with an interest.

However, Foot Mercato claims that Chelsea have stolen a march on their Premier League rivals by touching base with the representatives of the centre-back.

The report adds that Man United are yet to make contact with Fofana's entourage, with the Red Devils instead simply keeping a close eye on developments.

Fofana started 27 Premier League games for Leicester last term, and his contract with the FA Cup holders expires in 2025.
