Chelsea is about to finalize its first January transfer by paying £8.6 million to Molde to get David Datro Fofana.
In 24 games so far this season, the 19-year-old attacker has tallied up 15 goals and contributed five further assists.
Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist, predicts that Chelsea would sign Fofana in place of Armando Broja.
Graham Potter’s attacking options were severely limited after Broja suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a friendly match against Aston Villa.
Fofana, who has one year left on his contract with Molde, is almost done moving to Stamford Bridge.
Although it is rumored that personal conditions are still being discussed between the player and Blues, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano predicts that a deal will be finalized in the upcoming weeks.
With Graham Potter’s only remaining alternatives being Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Kai Havertz, the addition of Fofana is anticipated to improve the team’s offensive possibilities.
