Rodney Marsh has urged Manchester City on Twitter to make a move for Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.

The former City forward was impressed by the performance of Fofana during Leicester’s 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League at the weekend.

Marsh has said that he has watched the 19-year-old defender a number of times, and has urged City to pay £75 million and add John Stones in a deal to bring the French teenager to the Etihad Stadium.

How has Wesley Fofana fared at Leicester City?

Fofana joined Leicester from French club Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2020 for an initial transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £32 million.

The youngster has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water and has already established himself as an important player in manager Brendan Rodgers’s team.

According to WhoScored, the defender has played four times in the Premier League and has provided one assist in three Europa League games for Leicester so far this season.

Fofana’s performances have impressed former Leicester striker Gary Lineker as well, as shown below.
