Reports have Claimed that Chelsea are hoping to offload striker David Datro Fofana in this transfer window in a bid to get rid of the forward on a permanent basis.
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…
CHELSEA are a massive club that Fofana could not turn down, but at the end of the day, it shows that moves to big clubs are not always going to work out and not Fofana will need to find another club and get his career back on track.
There are a few options for the lad to make, so he will have options, But he needs to make sure that he is joining a club that will allow him to have the game time that he needs to impress.
But at the end of the day, this is the right decision as the forward is too good to be lost in the system, he needs to fulfil his potential
