Chelsea agree deal for Molde striker Fofana

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign striker David Datro Fofana from Norwegian side Molde.

The Ivory Coast international, who turned 20 last week, will join the Blues in the new year.

Fofana will offer Chelsea a fresh attacking option following the news that Armando Broja will miss the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

A club statement read: "Chelsea FC has reached a pre-agreement with Molde FK for the transfer of David Datro Fofana.

"The 20-year-old striker will join the Blues on 1 January 2023. We look forward to welcoming David to the club."

Fofana scored against Shamrock Rovers in the Europa Conference League earlier this year.
