Chelsea are negotiating a deal to sign David Datro Fofana from Molde in for £8.6million ahead of the January transfer window. Armando Broja suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a friendly against Aston Villa which led to Todd Boehly exploring a number of striker options to add to Graham Potter's squad.
Fofana has just one year left on his current deal at Molde and is now discussing personal terms ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge. Boehly has implemented a focus on signing talented youngsters shown by the arrivals of Cesare Casadei, Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina in the summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and Youssoufa Moukoko had all emerged as potential targets but it seems Todd Boehly will instead opt to sign the Molde striker. The 19-year-old has scored 15 goals and provided a further five assists for the Norwegian outfit so far this season.
