THE Premier League’s worst driver has been revealed after he was slapped with yet another ban while erratically motoring in his Lambo.
Wesley Fofana – the £75 million Chelsea FC Frenchman, 24, – was spared jail and ordered to complete 300 hours of unpaid community service after pleading guilty to his ninth driving offence.
Shocking dashcam footage shown in court captured the white Super Sport Utility vehicle undertaking and weaving through traffic using the hard shoulder of the A3 Esher Bypass in Hook, Surrey.
The £200k-a-week defender – who famously struck EastEnders legend Dean Gaffney with his Lambo last year – was already disqualified for eight previous speeding offences and is serving a two-year disqualification.
He’s now been hit with an 18-month ban, though he’s already off the road until May 2027.
Fofana left Staines Magistrates’ Court smirking, after escaping jail and being ordered to pay just £85 in costs and a £114 victim surcharge.

District Judge Julie Cooper blasted the star for setting a dangerous example to young fans.
She told him: “You obviously realise there are a lot of young people who look up to you and they would like to be like you and follow you. That’s part of the whole gig.
“However, they will not be able to afford these expensive cars, with all their additions that keep them safe and you could have some 17-year-old, who has just passed their test, who think they can copy you.
“They will not be able to handle their car and do some ridiculous driving manoeuvres and they are dead. You need to be much more responsible about your behaviour.”
Wearing all black – shirt, jacket and cargo trousers – and flanked by two bodyguards on his arrival and exit, Fofana only spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth.
Prosecutor Rabbi Khan said another motorist captured the France international on their dashcam around 4.50pm on April 20.
Footage played in court showed Fofana undertaking cars at high speed, with onlookers gasping in shock.
Khan told the court: “The witness identified the danger and this defendant was driving on the hard shoulder at speed in a 50mph zone.
“The offence is aggravated by an approaching bend that was signposted and he is not indicating when making these manoeuvres. He refused to abide by the road rules at speed.”
It comes after Fofana was hit with a two-year ban in May for a string of speeding sprees in his fleet of flash motors – including a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a blue Audi, and the same white Lambo.
He racked up 38 penalty points, taking his total to 47 – more than Manchester United had in the Premier League at the time.
The France star, who lives in a £4.5million six-bed mansion with a cinema and gym near Chelsea’s Cobham base, was warned by the judge: “At the end of the disqualification you cannot drive until you pass an extended driving test and if you drive as a disqualified driver you will almost certainly be sent to prison and that is career-ending.”
His solicitor, Imogen Cox, told the court: “The video speaks for itself – 15 to 20 seconds of driving that are conceded. There is no explanation or excuse for his driving on that day.
“He attended voluntarily for an interview at Guildford Police Station and apologised for driving and said he had learned a valuable lesson about his driving and had no explanation for his driving on that day.
“This offence pre-dates the speeding offences, which were all within a seven-month period and tied-up at Lavender Hill. He is essentially of good character, having no criminal convictions against him. He is fit and healthy and able to carry out community work.”
Fofana – plagued by injuries since joining Chelsea from Leicester in 2022 – has started just two Premier League matches this season.
