The 21-year-old agreed personal terms on a deal that will see him at Stamford Bridge until 2028.
His transfer to west London was in doubt as the Foxes didn’t want to sell him before they finally withered last week.

Boehly’s concern for Fofana’s health stems from the time he spent injured last season.
Fofana missed this chance to take part in the France Under-21 Championship after suffering a hamstring injury playing for Leicester in May last year.
He was then ruled out for much of the Premier League season a few months later in the Foxes’ friendly against Villarreal with a leg injury.
And Boehly doesn’t want Fofana to bring his injury woes to Stamford Bridge.
