Chelsea reaches an agreement with forward David Datro Fofana.
Chelsea is most likely to sign David Datro Fofana from Molde at £8.6 million to complete their first January transfer deal.
After Armando Broja’s injury, Chelsea had planned to add a striker to their squad in January. It appears that they have already moved quickly to implement those intentions. The team is almost ready to bring in a striker.
In 24 games so far this season, the 19-year-old attacker has tallied up 15 goals and contributed five further assists.
According to an Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are expected to sign Fofana as an alternative to Armando Broja.

Broja suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a friendly against Aston Villa, leaving Graham Potter’s attacking options significantly weakened.
Fofana has one year left on his current deal with Molde and is now on the verge of completing a switch to Stamford Bridge.
It is reported that personal terms are still being discussed between the player and Blues but a deal is expected to go through in the coming weeks, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
With Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Kai Havertz, the only options left for manager Graham Potter, the acquisition of Fofana is expected to bolster the team’s attacking options.
