Chelsea have confirmed late on deadline day that forward David Fofana has joined Strasbourg on loan until the end of the season, as they looked to get the striker some much needed game time.
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.
But the decision was made late on deadline day that Fofana would be allowed to leave and it was confirmed that Strasbourg had taken him on loan for the rest of the season, CHELSEA posted on the club website: ‘The Ivory Coast international signed for the Blues from Molde in January 2023 and featured on four occasions during the remainder of that campaign.
‘He spent the 2023/24 season out on loan, first at Bundesliga club Union Berlin and then in the Premier League with Burnley. Fofana struck four goals in 15 top-flight matches for the Clarets.
‘The 22-year-old spent the 2024/25 season with Goztepe in Turkey and we now look forward to supporting David throughout his time in France.
‘Good luck, David!’
