‘Medical Test Booked’: Chelsea Youngster Set to Move to Premier League Opposition

Fabrizio Romano originally noted that while Chelsea officially activated the recall clause to bring back David Datro Fofana, he would be going out again in January. The player is now on the verge of joining Premier League club, Burnley according to David Ornstein. There were rumours earlier that the player would move to the La Liga club, Sevilla. However, Burnley have reportedly won the race for the striker.

Chelsea to Loan Out Fofana Again After Recalling Him From Union Berlin

Fofana Back in London After Disappointing Spell in Germany

THe Blues have triggered the clause to recall the Ivorian striker from his loan spell at Union Berlin only six months after the move. The 22-year-old was signed in the winter of 2023 and was sent out on loan to the Bundesliga side in July. The forward had a tough time in Germany and only managed to score twice in 17 appearances.

The transfer market expert also revealed that the youngster will depart the London-based side again in the January transfer window. Spanish side Sevilla were reportedly closing in on the striker. After the latest turn of events, the Clarets have seemingly got their hands on the Ivorian forward.

Details of Burnley’s Plans for Chelsea Front-Man

The Italian transfer market expert has provided details of the former Molde striker’s move to Turf Moor. The major news for Chelsea fans is that there is no option to buy in the contract. This means the player will eventually return to the club at the end of the season. Given the Premier League giant’s struggles in front of the goal, this could be a valuable addition ahead of the next season depending on the situation.

The Ivory Coast U-23 international will travel to Burnley in the next few hours to undergo medical tests. The paperwork is ready to be signed after the clubs agreed on a deal in principle. The marksman is expected to add firepower to Kompany’s squad and assist them in getting out of the relegation zone.
