[The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/23/chelsea-have-third-70m-bid-wesley-fofana-rejected-leicester/), Leicester have snubbed Chelsea’s latest bid as they consider the add-ons ‘unrealistic and difficult to achieve’.

Leicester City have rejected a £70 million including add-ons bid from Chelsea for Wesley Fofana.

If something’s not right – no matter who the player is – he has to come out for the greater good of the team and the club. But that decision then will be ultimately down to the feeling of the club. “But you have to set a standard of behaviour and if it’s not quite right and your focus isn’t right, that only hurts your team-mates. If you do it last minute, then you’re really in danger. “He has been in the club. Some players may feel they have lost the opportunity of a dream.

JACK GAUGHAN AT EDGELEY PARK: If ever victory could be inglorious, here it was. Leicester were given some light relief but not much of it, ...

Rodgers bristled on the touchline, stood a few yards from Dave Challinor, the Stockport manager who had arrived at the ground long before any other soul. ‘It was a brilliant night without the dream ending,’ Challinor said. Chelsea saw a third bid, £60million with an additional £10m in instalments, rejected for the defender yesterday. Fofana is now training with the Under 23s. They really did progression the hard way. as Daniel Iversen saves THREE spot-kicks on debut

The starting XI: Daniel Iversen, Marc Albrighton (C), Jannik Vestergaard, Çağlar Söyüncü, Luke Thomas, Nampalys Mendy, Youri Tielemans, Dennis Praet, Harvey ...

Iversen had almost nothing to do, facing only one shot on target, but he came up huge during the shootout and almost single-handedly put City into the next round. There’s no way to describe this match as anything but a mild disappointment for the Foxes. The first non-comical chance of the match fell to the Foxes on 25’. Stockport County barely had a touch but somehow managed to create the best chance of the half. This moved captain Marc Albrighton to the right wing as the Foxes switched to a 4-2-3-1. Stockport County acquitted themselves well and on another day might have advanced in the competition. Rodgers, emboldened by the improvement, brought on Ayoze Perez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for Albrighton and Praet. The first hint of danger from the hosts came on the half-hour mark. Leicester had all of the possession, moved the ball briskly, but couldn’t create any real chances. While Tielemans and Iheanacho were having a contest to see who could shoot from the greatest distance, the Hatters were struggling to get out of their area. The Turkey international received treatment on and off the pitch but was able to carry on without any apparent difficulty. The atmosphere at Edgeley Park was what one would have hoped for with a Premier League side visiting a club newly promoted to League 2.

How we scored the Leicester City players as they progressed to the third round of the Carabao Cup on penalties after a goalless draw with League Two side ...

But he was crowded out for most of the first half and looked uncomfortable on the right in the second. Kelechi Iheanacho: He was too speculative with his shots and too negative with his passing in the first half. Patson Daka: When he got the chance to get involved, he linked play well, and he nearly found the net after the one-two with Praet. Papy Mendy: He gave the ball away for Stockport’s best first-half chance, but he was put in a sticky situation by his team-mates. Luke Thomas: The link-up with Barnes, one of the most exciting parts of his game when he first came into the side, was not there, the pair looking like they had never featured together at times. Marc Albrighton: His clipped balls over the top to Iheanacho and Daka did not result in the chances he and City hoped they would, but at least they were something different to risk-averse passing around the box. He made one flying save and caught a few crosses to keep his clean sheet during the 90 minutes, but then pulled off three outstanding stops low to his right in the shoot-out to save City from an embarrassment. Maddison had a shot trickle wide, Dewsbury-Hall danced around the challenges before his effort was blocked on the line, and then Maddison had another effort palmed over. The second half continued in the same vein as the first, with City unable to break through. With Stockport growing in confidence, they left more space for City to exploit and they did get into the box more often, but without creating anything clear cut. Papy Mendy was put in trouble and then gave the ball away, with Callum Camps blasting goalwards, Iversen palming it out for a corner. For the first 20 minutes, all they had to show for their patience on the ball was a few speculative long-range efforts from Tielemans and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Live action, analysis and reaction from Edgeley Park as Leicester City seek their first win of the season against Stockport County in the second round of ...

Wide enough to get ironic cheers from the home fans. But it's better from in terms of getting the ball into advanced areas. They have won one and lost four of their first five league games, but beat Harrogate in the first round to reach this stage. The home fans got excited by that. That tie came in the same season the pair faced off in League One, with both fixtures ending in a draw. It wasn't too far over. It looks like a 4-3-3 for City with Iheanacho on the right of the frontline and Daka central. Iheanacho dummies a pass and it confuses his team-mates and the Stockport players. City play a corner short and set it up for Tielemans in space on the edge of the box. Maddison dances into the box and Dewsbury-Hall then shimmies around the men to get a shot away, but a blue shirt is on the line to clear. Will City be able to get their first win of the season and move into the third round of the Carabao Cup? And it provides them with an opportunity to get their first win of the season.
