The centre-back was a key part of Brendan Rodgers’ side in his debut campaign with the Foxes.

He featured 28 times in the Premier League, as the team earned a fifth place finish in the table (all stats from Fbref).

Fofana was also part of the team that triumphed in the FA Cup final in 2021, lifting the famous trophy for the first time in the club’s history.

However, his time at the King Power Stadium suffered a massive blow during the summer of his second campaign with the team.

A significant injury issue meant he made just seven league appearances for Leicester in his second season.

In the summer of 2022, a high-spending Chelsea made the decision to pursue the signing of Fofana from Leicester once he was back to full fitness.

A deal worth £75 million was agreed in the final days of the transfer market, leading to his exit to Stamford Bridge.
