David Datro Fofana’s former club Abidjan City has claimed that the new Chelsea signing was “stolen” from them by Molde and urged Fifa to ban the Norwegian club from future transfer dealings.
Fofana, the Ivory Coast international who joined Chelsea this month for about €13m, moved to Molde in February 2021 on a free transfer despite being registered with Abidjan City, it is claimed. Abidjan City filed a case against Molde with the court of arbitration for sport on 30 December after Fifa’s dispute resolution chamber ruled against them.
