Galatasaray are interested in signing Chelsea’s David Datro Fofana on loan.
That is according to Turkish publication Fanatik.
David Datro Fofana, who signed for Chelsea in January in a deal worth up to £10million, has found it difficult during his opening few months in England.
The 20-year-old striker has played just four first-team games since joining the Blues, which is a slight worry when you consider the team was crying out for a frontman during the second half of the season.
Fanatik claims that Galatasaray would like to take Fofana on loan next season.
It is understood that officials from the Turkish top-flight club will be in London this week to try negotiate the potential transfer with Chelsea.
In addition, the report says that the young centre-forward would like a move away from Stamford Bridge during this summer window.
If Fofana wasn’t getting much of a look-in during the second half of last season, we struggle to picture a way of him playing at Stamford Bridge during the next campaign.
We feel like a season-long loan deal for the Blues youngster makes sense, but he needs a home where he’ll play regular football. If Galatasaray can give him that, we like the idea of him joining a high-profile side in Turkey.
However, it feels like a long road ahead for the forward if he’s got any chance of breaking into the Blues first team further down the road.
