has ‘no desire’ to leave and does not want to be included in a part-exchange bid to sign Wesley Fofana, despite interest from Leicester.

The Foxes are keen on landing the midfielder, who is out of favour at Stamford Bridge.

The 26-year-old has failed to reach his potential in west , despite his obvious talent.

’ biggest strength is his ability to bring out the best in under-performing players and a move to the Midlands has been touted, particularly given Chelsea’s interest in Fofana.

The Blues are keen to bring down Leicester’s £80m asking price for the Frenchman by offering players to go in the opposite direction and Rodgers is keen on Loftus-Cheek.

But the Telegraph say the London-born midfielder has ‘no desire’ in joining the Foxes, nor leaving Chelsea at all this summer.

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Brighton defender Marc Cucurella after hijacking Manchester City’s talks for the Spaniard.

The Seagulls have put a £50m asking price on Cucurella but City were only willing to pay around £32m – which is the fee they received from Arsenal for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Tuchel wants competition for Ben Chilwell at left wing-back, while Cucurella can also play as a left centre-back.

The German boss wants the same on the other flank, with Chelsea keen to sign competition for Reece James.

Chelsea will then focus on signing a centre-back and another forward, while the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Marcos Alonso and Ross Barkley could leave.
