Here is the latest transfer news and gossip from Chelsea, as reports have claimes that the Blues are hoping to offload striker David Datro Fofana in this transfer window.
Joao Pedro was Chelsea’s most expensive signing at £60m last summer, but a further £200m was spent on key additions Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho, Estevao Willian, Jorrel Hato and Liam Delap.
Those arrivals helped CHELSEA win the Conference League last season and lift the Club World Cup trophy over the summer, beating Champions League holders PSG in the final, but there are players that are no longer needed at the club
23-year-old Fofana joined Chelsea from Molde in 2023, but has not managed to crack the first-team, nor has he impressed overly in loan spells with Union Berlin, Göztepe, Burnley, and Fatih Karagümrük, where he is currently plying his trade.
All parties are interested in finding him a permanent move this month, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Celtic, Royal Antwerp, and Derby County have expressed an interest in doing a deal.
Since joining CHELSEA, Datro Fofana has scored 16 goals in 61 appearances for six teams, including the Blues’ Under-21s.
IcFootballnews Says…
Fofana had all the attributes to be a quality player for Chelsea, he could be a striker that scores a ton of goals, but that big move came too early and he has struggled to reignite his career with these loan moves.
If the Blues really want to get rid of Fofana, they will, there are some clubs interested and he wants to make that move away.
But this does show that joining the big clubs may not always be the best thing if the player is not ready, Fofana was not ready for CHELSEA and now will have to start over all again at his next club.
It is a shame to see really, but it happens quite alot.
