On January 1, they will sign David Datro Fofana from Molde, and they are also interested in the player of the same name from Lisbon.

The Blues spent a lot of money in the summer after Todd Boehly took over, and they seem to be doing the same in the winter.

The deal was confirmed in a statement on Wednesday by the club.

A pre-agreement has been reached for the transfer of David Datro Fofana, according to the club.

The 20-year-old will join the Blues. David will be welcomed to the club by us!

Fernandez won the Young Player of the Tournament in the World Cup for his role in Argentina's success, and now he is the subject of a new attempt by the Blues.

The club won't sell him for less than his release clause. The 21-year-old is under contract for another ten years.

What can Chelsea expect from Fofana?
