Taking to his own official social media, defender Fofana, tweeted himself hinting that Soumare will soon be a Foxes’ player ahead of next season.
The talented young centre-back then also replied to Romano saying: “You are the expert, if you say so, I believe you!”
Both of Fofana’s tweets have since been deleted – because that’s not suspicious at all.
