When is transfer deadline day 2022?

Chelsea fans will surely be thrilled by this news in what has been a long summer in terms of fixing their defence.

Plenty of names have been linked with CFC since the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, with Kalidou Koulibaly looking promising since he joined from Napoli, but with further additions needed.

Fofana has impressed at Leicester and looks ready to make the step up to a bigger club, as so many players at the King Power Stadium have done down the years.

N’Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell also moved from Leicester to Chelsea, while the Foxes also lost star names like Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City and Harry Maguire to Manchester United.
