Despite the transfer window in England being closed for the best part of two weeks now, Chelsea are very much not done when it comes to business.
The window remains open in a number of European countries for them to do business, and the Blues still have a number of players who they would like to move on.
The most high-profile case at the club is Ben Chilwell, with the vice-captain from just a few months ago now completely out of the plans at Stamford Bridge.
There have also been a list of players who the club signed in recent years who they are keen to see leave too.
One of those is David Datro Fofana, with it being reported yesterday that they had a deal for him to join AEK Athens on loan confirmed before it fell through.
Chelsea still looking for new club for David Datro Fofana
Fabrizio Romano has stated both the club and the player’s representatives are searching for a solution still after that deal failed to be agreed.
He said: “Chelsea are still looking for a solution for David Datro Fofana after AEK Athens deal collapsed and Greek market closed.
“Chelsea and player’s camp now looking for solutions as he’s out of Maresca’s squad.”
Fofana was last in action for Burnley on loan last season, where he impressed despite the club’s eventual relegation.
Manager at the time Vincent Kompany described him as ‘outstanding’, as he showed he could definitely be a worthy option for a side in need of a striker.
Chelsea backing Nicolas Jackson
The youngster never really got a chance to shine in West London, with his only appearances for the first team coming in the time that Graham Potter was in charge.
The Blues elected not to sign a natural striker over the summer after they couldn’t agree to a deal on their terms for Victor Osimhen.
This has therefore led to a great opportunity coming up for Nicolas Jackson to establish himself as the clear number one option.
