Chelsea recalled 22-years-old Chelsea player after termination of deal
As part of their search for a new centre forward this month, Chelsea have reportedly brought back one of their strikers from a season-long loan.
The transfer window shuts on Monday, and Chelsea has been linked this month with new striker names like Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, whom they seem to still be pursuing.
However, perhaps they have come to the conclusion that securing a new striker is unfeasible and that they will resort to using a player already in their possession?
This is pure speculation by the way, I have no idea if they are even thinking about using David Datro Fofana as their ‘new’ striker going into the rest of the transfer window, but he HAS just been recalled from his loan move that was supposed to run until the end of this season.
Fofana back at Chelsea
After having a decent loan move at Burnley in the Premier League, Fofana made a really odd next loan move this season, heading to a mid-table Turkish side in Göztepe.
But he has been injured recently and had some surgery, and now he is back at Chelsea.
Simon Johnson from The Athletic had the latest on this situation last night, and he claims it was a Chelsea recall.
He says:
‘Chelsea are determining how long David Datro Fofana will be out for and what the plan is for him next. But by recalling him now, an international loan spot is freed up.
‘He has not played since being taken off injured just eight minutes against Adana Demirspor last month. He has since had an operation to cure a thigh and knee problem.’
