"According to the Leicester Mercury, this is not the first time the Foxes have been linked with the Blues ace, who finds himself available on the market. The report states that Chelsea have recalled Fofana from his loan with Turkish club Fatih Karagumruk, where he impressed this season. It now seems that Chelsea are looking to offload Fofana permanently, which could price Leicester out of a move as they prefer a loan."
"It's been a difficult season for Leicester as they've returned to the Championship following last season's relegation from the Premier League. It's not even guaranteed that the Foxes will be able to go straight back up, but they're currently five points outside of the playoff places, so it's not impossible that a strong second half of the season could help them become more serious contenders. Adding a striker would be ideal for Leicester, and Fofana looks like someone who could flourish at that level."
Leicester City have renewed interest in Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana, who is available on the market after being recalled from his loan at Turkish club Fatih Karagumruk where he impressed. Chelsea appear to be seeking a permanent transfer for Fofana rather than another loan, which could prevent Leicester from completing a deal given their preference for a temporary move. Leicester currently play in the Championship after last season's relegation and sit five points outside the playoff places. Strengthening with a striker would boost promotion hopes, but securing Fofana in January could be challenging.
