I'm tired of this.Wesley Fofana made his first Chelsea start against West Ham UntedWesley Fofana in action for ChelseaChelsea had a busy transfer window in the summer with a few high-profile names coming into their squad. However, no player cost more than former Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.The 21-year-old French defender was bought from the Foxes for a mammoth fee of £75 million. He became the club's most expensive defender with the move and joined on a seven-year-long contract.Thomas Tuchel wasted no time in fielding the big-money signing as Fofana started the game against West Ham.He made two tackles and won six out of his attempted eight duels.Given his age and experience in the Premier League, fans can only expect the player to get better. He is also on a lengthy contract with the club. Hence, the investment in Fofana seems like one that is for the present and also for the future.
