Chelsea have sent Wesley Fofana to the USA to undergo his medical, according to reports. Chelsea finally agreed a fee with Leicester on Friday for the France defender but are now seeking assurances over the player’s condition following previous injuries.

The Blues are set to pay an initial £70million for Fofana. And they are set to leave no stone unturned ahead of the mega-money deal.

The Athletic claims Fofana was flown to the USA on Sunday to undergo a medical. No problems are expected but Chelsea want ‘peace of mind’ over long-term injuries the player had earlier in his career.
