I trained this morning with the team and it's a dream for me. I'm very excited to start playing games for the fans and the club. 完成签约後，佛法纳说：“这两天对我来说真的很重要，我很高兴。今天早上我和球 队一起训练了，这是我的一个梦想，我很高兴能开始为球迷和俱乐部打比赛。” https://i.imgur.com/BK4b2kj.jpg 佛法纳加盟蓝军！ 'I'm here win trophies – the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything.

We are excited to see what he can achieve at Chelsea.' 切尔西共同控股所有人埃格巴里和费利西亚诺说：“我们正在建设本赛季的成功和切 尔西光明的长期未来，卫斯理完全符合这一愿景。他是一个立即能对我们球队产生影 响的球员，而以他的年龄，他只会进一步提升进步的速度。我们期待看到他在切尔西 取得的成就。” https://i.imgur.com/vWrJmue.jpg 欢迎来到切尔西，卫斯理！ Welcome to Chelsea, Wesley! 欢迎来到切尔西，卫斯理！ https://www.chelseafc.com/zh/news/article/fofana-signs-for-chelsea --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/wesley-fofana-the-biography Wesley Fofana – the biography 31 AUG 22 Wesley Fofana did not join a professional youth system until the age of 14, but made up for lost time by having an instant impact when given his first chance in senior football in his native France with Saint-Etienne. The 21-year-old then took to a new country just as easily when signing for Leicester City, quickly becoming one of the most exciting young defenders in the Premier League. https://i.imgur.com/Mdn0mXG.jpg Born in the footballing hotbed of Marseille on the south coast of France, Fofana started his youth career at a series of small clubs around the country, taking in spells with Repos Vitrolles, Mining Basin, Des Pennes Mirabeau and Air Bel before joining the ranks of top-flight club Saint-Etienne in 2015, aged 14. Initially playing for Saint-Etienne II in the fourth tier, the teenager's breakthrough arrived in the 2018/19 season after signing his first professional contract that summer, making several appearances for the second string as well as starring for the club's Under-19s as they won the Coupe Gambardella – France's prestigious national youth cup. https://i.imgur.com/ejRI0Ch.jpg Fofana made his senior debut for Saint-Etienne in 2018/19 He was rewarded with a debut for the first team in Ligue 1, although it arrived earlier than expected. Having been an unused substitute in Saint-Etienne's previous two games, an injury to Pierre-Yves Polomat 20 minutes into their crucial penultimate fixture saw Fofana come on for his top-flight debut. He contributed to a clean sheet in a 3-0 victory over Nice, which sealed their fourth-place finish in the table and European qualification. He then made his first start in their last game of the season, a 1-1 draw at Angers. Fofana was included in Saint-Etienne's senior squad for 2019/20, but with many of their stars departing it turned out to be a much tougher season for the club. That was not helped by a badly timed knee injury which meant Fofana missed the opening two months of the campaign, but he was instantly propelled into the starting line-up on his return to help them retain their top-flight status. That included his first goal in Ligue 1, in a 4-1 win over Nice in December. He scored again as Saint-Etienne opened their Coupe de France campaign with victory at Bastia-Borgo and started all but one of their games en route to the final. Despite a 1-0 defeat in the decider at the Stade de France, Fofana put in an impressive performance belying his years, up against a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain attack which included Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, despite his central defensive partner Loic Perrin being sent off after half-an-hour. https://i.imgur.com/Wc3iCWQ.jpg In action against PSG in the Coupe de France final The centre-back started Saint-Etienne's first three games of 2020/21, winning all three without conceding a goal, before moving to Leicester City. The speed with which he adapted to his new surroundings and the intensity of the Premier League was even more impressive, though, as he instantly became a key player at the King Power Stadium. He made 38 appearances for the Foxes in his debut campaign on these shores, 28 of them in the Premier League, all but one of which came from the start, with the level of his performances seeing him named the club's Young Player of the Season. Arguably his best game of his first year in England is one Chelsea supporters will remember well, if not fondly, as he was part of the Leicester defence which managed to hold on and frustrate the Blues at Wembley when Leicester beat us 1-0 to win the FA Cup final, allowing the Foxes to lift the trophy for the first time in their history. https://i.imgur.com/gzQyZ0T.jpg Celebrating Leicester's FA Cup final win over Chelsea It appeared his progress would be halted by serious injury, though, when Fofana suffered a broken leg in Leicester's pre-season friendly against Villarreal shortly before the start of 2021/22. However, following his recovery, he picked up right where he had left off, and even seemed to have stepped up to another level. That was underlined in the first match following his return, in the second leg of their Europa Conference League last-16 tie against Rennes in France, when he headed in the decisive goal which secured the Foxes' progress to the next round, his first for the club. It was also acknowledged as one of the best performances of his career, despite it being his first competitive match for 10 months. https://i.imgur.com/e4kHFLA.jpg Scoring his first Leicester goal against Rennes in the Europa Conference League The level of Fofana's recovery was further shown as he featured in every minute for Leicester in all competitions for the remainder of the season, being a vital part of the team again as they reached the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League – the Foxes' first-ever appearance in the last four of a European competition – and sparking a return to form at domestic level which saw them finish eighth in the Premier League. The 21-year-old played every minute of Leicester's opening two fixtures of this season prior to signing for Chelsea and now joins up with Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of a potential Blues debut in the Premier League against West Ham United on Saturday. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/ everything-you-need-to-know-about-wesley-fofana Everything you need to know about Wesley Fofana 31 AUG 2022 Here's all the information you need on Chelsea's newest signing Wesley Fofana... https://i.imgur.com/VC0ljs2.jpg ˙What position does Fofana play?

After training with the group for the first time on Wednesday morning, the defender was taken for a tour of our Cobham facilities and introduced to his new colleagues before sitting down to share his thoughts exclusively with us on completing a dream move. ˙Wesley, welcome to Chelsea! It's been a turbulent few weeks for you but are you able to sum up your emotions now after finally becoming a Blue? 'The two last days have been really big days for me and I'm very happy. I trained this morning with the team and it's a dream for me. I'm very excited to start playing games for the fans and the club. 'I'm here to win trophies – the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, everything. I came here to win and the club is built to win trophies so I'm here to continue that.' https://i.imgur.com/i4eDIoN.png ˙Your career has been on a steep upward trajectory over the past few years and it was only just over three years ago that you made your professional debut in France with Saint-Etienne. You must reflect on that with bewilderment… 'Yeah, it's crazy! Last season I had a big injury and now I'm sitting here one year after. It's a dream for me because I'm very young and Chelsea is in my heart. Now I'm sitting here so I'm very happy.' https://i.imgur.com/5S0Q7xj.jpg Straight to work in a passing drill ˙How difficult was last season with you sustaining a broken leg so early in pre-season? It must have been the first big test of your mental resilience as a professional… 'It was difficult because I love playing football and seven months without playing is difficult, for the player and for the man. I worked hard on the pitch and in the gym but my life was different in those months because football is everything for me. Now I'm more strong mentally and in my body so I feel good. It changed my personality but I'm better for it now.' https://i.imgur.com/M3QcTJh.jpg The French defender joins on a long-term deal from Leicester ˙As a young defender, you must really be looking forward to working with the likes of Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta and Kalidou Koulibaly and learning from them in the art of defending? 'It's crazy for me because when I was younger I watched these guys on TV in the Champions League and the Premier League. I used to go to the stadium and watch Azpi in Marseille so it's a dream for me now to play with him and with all the other guys. I've played as them on PlayStation and now I'm training with them so it's unbelievable really.' https://i.imgur.com/MNwOSlj.jpg Finding his boots... ˙Finally, you've said before that your aim is not only to win trophies but to ultimately become the best defender in the world. How much can this move to Chelsea help you achieve that? 'Of course it can a lot because it's such a big club. For me, I want to be a big player, the best, and that's normal because I play for the best. I'm sure this club will help me do that because it's one of the biggest clubs and winning trophies is in the DNA here. Now I just want to be a part of that.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1564958256522530816 #FofanaIsChelsea Bel-Air to the Bridge! https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1564961169332264960 Home comforts. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1564964886484066305 (影片) Ready to give everything! https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1564971806330683396 He's Chelsea now. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1564984604339183617 (影片) A dream realised. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1564999703900700678 (影片) Smile! https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565007253878489088 (影片) Knew we recognised that haircut! https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565017823293968386 (影片) Down to work at Cobham! https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565025655607234564 You heard it here first. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565025876055654403 https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565033174333329408 Get the badge in. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565041478702796802 https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565049783663861760 New blue. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565060604917866498 (影片) Settling in! https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1565313403211726848 Once a Blue… --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://twitter.com/CFCPys/status/1564265536728764419 “I've been told its less than reported, it's all in for less than ￡70m, that's from a source within Chelsea so they are going to steer favourably but that's what I'm led to believe” (@SJohnsonSport - The Athletic Football Podcast) https://twitter.com/SJohnsonSport/status/1564958228538167297 I understand CFC fee for Wesley Fofana is ￡69.5m.
