Todd Boehly, the chairman of Chelsea, has commented on the club's most recent acquisition, Wesley Fofana.

Boehly referred to Fofana as one of Europe's most promising young athletes and said that he would help the Chelsea team become stronger.

Fofana joined Chelsea on Wednesday from Premier League rivals Leicester City.

The 21-year-old defender signed a seven-year contract with Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Reacting, Boehly told the club’s official website: “Wesley is a hugely promising defender who has already proven his quality in the Premier League at a young age.

“We are delighted we were able to bring one of Europe’s most exciting talents to Chelsea and further strengthen that area of our squad, both for this season and many more to come.”
