Chelsea star BANNED from driving for two years and slapped with fine after racking up spending offences in luxury Rolls Royce and Lamborghini supercars

Fofana has been hit with a driving ban after committing eight offences and racking up a total of 47 points on his license for speeding, according to the Daily Mail. The Chelsea star was caught speeding in his white Rolls Royce Cullinan, a blue 4.0 litre Audi and his Lamborghini Urus. Several of the offences were on his route to and from Chelsea's training ground at Cobham which is a 50mph zone. He was caught speending at 77mph, 68mph, 90mph, 88mph and 67mph on five separate occasions.

Fofana admitted all the offences and was also fined a total of £5,328, plus a £2,131 victim surcharge and £110 costs at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court. The defender had previously been disqualified for six months in January 2023 and was involved in car crash involving Eastenders star Dean Gaffney that left the actor with a broken collarbone in December 2022.

Bench Chairman John Soones said: "The minimum disqualification today is twelve months, but we take into account the fact he is a habitual speeder, with access to powerful motorcars, who speeds at nearly double the speed limit."

Fofana's lawyer, Imogen Cox, told the court: "Mr Fofana means no disrespect by not attending court today. He clearly faces a disqualification and knows he is going to be disqualified and I asked him to not drive after 9.30am today. He has a significant gap on his driving record where he is not committing offences,' added the lawyer, referring to one in 2022 and one in 2023 before this latest batch. He was doing more driving miles and he accepts he disregarded the rules of the road and he asks me to apologise on his behalf. There is no 'exceptional hardship' argument put forward by Mr Fofana. He knows he is going to be off the road for at least twelve months. He earns in excess of the one thousand pounds a week maximum we use for these offences and he realises he is likely to receive the maximum fine. He is a young man that plays football for a living and he works extremely hard, training and has foolishly not complied with the rules of the road."

Fofana's driving ban comes at a time when his future at Stamford Bridge is in the spotlight. The defender has missed the end of the season after undergoing surgery and has reportedly attracted interest from Ligue 1 side Marseille.
