LEICESTER fans made it clear what they think of wanataway defender Wesley Fofana at Stamford Bridge.
Following weeks of talks between the Premier League clubs, a £70million fee plus add-ons was finally agreed on Friday.
Just like in the 2-1 defeat against Southampton last week, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers omitted the youngster out of his matchday squad.
And it didn’t take long in West London for the travelling Leicester fans to take aim at the ex-Saint-Etienne ace.
They loudly sang: “Wes Fofana, you’re a w***er, you’re a w***er.”
The 21-year-old central defender has been desperate to join Thomas
Tuchel’s squad.

The Blues were ready to walk away after a third offer, totalling £70m,
was rejected by Leicester on Tuesday.
But after going back in with a fourth offer with improved terms, the Midlands outfit have buckled.
Thunderous boos also rained down on former Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell and the Chelsea substitutes when they warmed up near the away supporters.

This was followed by a chorus of: “He sits on the bench, he sits on
the bench, Ben Chilwell, he sits on the bench.”
Prior to kick-off, Chelsea defender Reece James appeared to welcome Fofana to the club as he unveiled his new haircut.
James, 22, arrived at the Bridge today sporting a new hairdo, with a heart shape shaved into his temple.
It didn’t take fans long to clock the style – as Fofana has also sported something very similar.
Despite going down to ten men i the first half following Conor Gallagher’s sending off, Chelsea edged out Leicester 2-1 thanks to Raheem Sterling’s double.
