CHELSEA star Wesley Fofana has been banned from driving for two years after racking up 47 points on his licence.
The French international’s tally would see him finish higher than several Premier League giants this season — including , who sit on 39 points.
Lavender Hill magistrates’ in South West London heard on Wednesday that he had committed eight offences in three different vehicles in less than a year.
, 24, who did not appear at court, was dubbed a “habitual speeder”;; by chairman of the bench John Soones, who slapped the defender with a further 38 points on top of his previous nine.
Mr Soones said: “We take into account the fact he is a habitual speeder, with access to powerful motor cars, who speeds at nearly double the speed limit.”;;
The earliest offence was last March when he drove his Urus at 26mph in a 20mph zone in Brixton, South London.
Fofana was then caught five times behind the wheel of his £300,000 Cullinan and twice in his blue 4.0-litre Audi — all in a 50mph zone on the A3 Esher bypass.
He hit speeds of up to 88mph on the route he regularly uses to get to and from his home in Kingston-upon-Thames to the club’s training ground in Cobham, .
, who admitted all offences, had so many they were scattered throughout the building’s courtrooms.
Chairman Mr Soones said: “He’s got a flush. He is in court one, two and three. But we have gathered them all together”;;.
His lawyer Imogen Cox told the court: “He is a young man that plays for a living and he works extremely hard, training, and has foolishly not complied with the rules of the road.”;;
Fofana was fined £5,328, plus a £2,131 victim surcharge and £110 in costs.
He was previously disqualified for six months in January 2023 for speeding.
The player is regarded as a “sick note”;; by fans due to long absences after two major knee injuries since his £70million switch from in 2022.
