Chelsea are close to completing their first January transfer after agreeing a £10.5million deal to sign Molde striker David Datro Fofana. The Ivorian forward has scored 15 goals and provided a further five assists in 24 appearances so far this season.
Armando Broja suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a friendly against Aston Villa, leaving Graham Potter's attacking options significantly weakened heading into the second half of the season. Broja is set to miss the remainder of the campaign, leaving Chelsea with just two striker options in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz.
Aubameyang and Havertz have both struggled for form this season, leading to Todd Boehly exploring possible striker options to add to Potter's squad in January. Cristiano Ronaldo has also been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge after he became a free agent following his decision to mutually agree to terminate his contract with Manchester United before the World Cup.
