Matchday With The Manager: How & Why Leicester City Signed Fofana

Fofona, 19, has made just 30 competitive appearances in French football for AS Saint-Étienne, but the work carried out by the Club's scouting network has highlighted an exciting talent. The Marseille-born centre-back is Leicester's third signing this summer, following the arrivals of Timothy Castagne and Cengiz Ünder, who, like Fofana, are promising young prospects who match City's desired profile of player.

Earlier this week, Rodgers spoke in depth about the characteristics of that profile and why he believes Fofana, recently called up to France's Under-21s squad, fits the bill for the Foxes.
