Maguire, replacing Wesley Fofana?

What challenges the British media this morning, including the Daily Telegraph, this is the new big injury of Wesley Fofana. Again affected in the knee and operated on in stride, the French defender should be absent from the field for several months. At only 22 years old, this is the sixth time he has been hit in the knee. Suddenly, Chelsea multiplies the tracks to find him a replacement. The priority would be Manchester United’s undesirable Harry Maguire. There is no lack of suitors at the moment since according to The Sun, Tottenham, West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea are in the running, as are Inter and two Saudi clubs, namely Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. But the most advanced on this issue are the Blues according to 90 minutes. The long unavailability of Fofana pushes Chelsea to intensify this recruitment. The Blues have reportedly already made contact with his representatives in recent hours over a possible deal.
