Chelsea urged to sign ‘new Varane’ as Rudiger replacement
Former Chelsea full-back Glen Johnson has urged the Blues to do a transfer deal for Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.
Johnson rates the 21-year-old as an ideal replacement for Antonio Rudiger and likened him to French compatriot and Manchester United star Raphael Varane.
He told GGRecon: “Yeah, I love him [Fofana] to be honest, I think he’s fantastic. He reminds me of Raphael Varane; quick, good on the ball, strong.
“I think Wesley Fofana would be a very good replacement for Antonio Rudiger at Chelsea. Not long ago he wasn’t even in the France squad, which blew my mind because he was unbelievable. I like him a lot.”
