Chelsea are set to seal the signing of highly-rated Ivorian striker David Datro Fofana from Molde after reportedly agreeing a fee in the region of £8.6million with the Norwegian club. Graham Potter’s side have been forced into the market for attacking reinforcements after Armando Broja suffered a ruptured ACL in the 1-0 friendly defeat to Aston Villa in Dubai last weekend.
the Blues look set to move quickly to beat Potter’s former employers Brighton to the signature of Fofana, who is considered to be hot property around Europe.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, there is now a full agreement in place with Molde to sign the prolific 19-year-old forward in what could prove to be the second signing of the Potter era following Thomas Tuchel’s departure from Stamford Bridge in September.
Chelsea are understood to have a deal in place to sign France international forward Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig at the end of the current season
