Reinforcements for Champions League
After Union Berlin presented the most valuable addition in the club’s history with midfielder Brenden Aaronson (22) on Sunday, the next one is apparently already in the starting blocks. According to consistent media reports, striker David Datro Fofana (20) from Chelsea FC will soon join the “Iron” on loan. The Champions League debutant prevailed against competitors such as RC Strasbourg Alsace, OGC Nice and Galatasaray in the campaign for the Ivorian national player.

A purchase option should not be part of the deal. Chelsea want to give Fofana match practice at a high level. The Blues had signed the talented attacker from Molde FK in January for 12 million euros – 4 million more than the Norwegians once earned for Erling Haaland. As a result, Fofana only made three appearances in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge over a total of 68 minutes.

Fofana can be used variably in the center or on the wings on the offensive. Even in the event of a possible departure from Sheraldo Becker (28; contract until 2024), who recently changed consultants and is on the list for several Premier League clubs, the youngster could broaden Urs Fischer’s team’s attack.
Before moving to Union Berlin: Chelsea’s Fofana “quick, tricky, strong in tackles”

Before his move to Chelsea, Transfermarkt user and Norway market value admin “Arturus” said of Fofana’s steep development: “He was considered a huge talent even before his move to Molde and finally made his breakthrough in his second season on Norwegian soil. He is fast, tricky, strong in tackles and can hardly be separated from the ball, but still has weaknesses in decision-making and finishing. Nevertheless, his individual skills are so outstanding that a number of international clubs are said to have approached Molde. Due to the current ‘hype’ about Fofana, parallels with Haaland are often drawn, but they have little substance, since the Ivorian is a completely different type of player and does not yet come close to Haaland’s talent overall.”
