Chelsea are ‘working on deals’ for Leicester City’s Wesley Fofana and Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries with the Blues to offer Brendan Rodgers players a partial swap deal

Chelsea are working on deals for Leicester City’s Wesley Fofana and Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries.

The Blues have had a bumpy ride when it comes to transfer business this summer, missing out on key targets Jules Kounde, Matthijs de Ligt, Nathan Ake and Presnel Kimpembe.

But when it comes to their other goals, it looks like Chelsea aren’t going to give up without a fight for these two, with the London side keen to bring both, not just one, to Stamford Bridge.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea are working on deals to sign the wanted pair.

It is also understood that Chelsea are confident they can reduce Leicester’s £80million asking price for the centre-back by offering them players.

Meanwhile, the Blues are seen as true admirers of Dumfries and have an advantage in that they worked with the Serie A side by loaning them Romelu Lukaku.
