Chelsea Have Completed The Signing of Ivorian Striker David Fofana

Chelsea Signs Ivorian striker David Datro Fofana from Molde

Chelsea have officially completed the signing of Ivorian striker David Datro Fofana from Molde on €12m fee according to Italian football journalist and one of the most well-informed and reliable sources for football transfer news, Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea have already started working on the transfer market as David Datro Fofana will officially be a Blues player from January 1.

His move from Norwegian club Molde FK is complete. Andrey Santos will fly to London on Thursday to finalize his transfer from Vasco da Gama.

The two clubs have agreed on a fee of €12 million. Fofana has scored 17 goals and has provided six assists in 29 games so far this campaign. The 20-year-old could walk straight into Graham Potter’s starting lineup.

Armando Broja has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining an injury against Aston Villa during a friendly.

Potter is yet to be sold on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and used Kai Havertz through the middle against Bournemouth. The German scored one and set up another during the game. Fofana’s arrival will give Potter more options to work with.

Andrey Santos, meanwhile, will fly to London later this week. A €17.5 million fee has been agreed upon for the player with Vasco da Gama.

The Blues are hoping to get a work permit for Santos before he joins the squad. He could very well be loaned back to Vasco da Gama for the remainder of the season.
