Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has praised Chelsea defender and former teammate Wesley Fofana as a top talent who can reach the top of his game. The veteran goalkeeper played alongside the France international at Leicester City before both men left the club at different points.
Fofana left Leicester City for Chelsea in 2022 for around £70 million but has struggled with injuries throughout his time at Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old missed the entirety of the 2023-24 season with knee injuries, only returning to action at the start of the 2024-25 season.
Kasper Schmeichel witnessed first-hand as Fofana went from a prospect in France to a player who commanded a £70 million fee within the space of two years. He told Ben Foster in the latter's podcast that the centre-back has the potential to be what he wants to be in his career.
