Chelsea Loan Striker Datro Fofana to Unión Berlin: Failed Spell at Stamford Bridge

Barely six months after Datro Fofana arrived at Chelsea, the Ivorian striker has already packed his bags again. The blue team announced that it has decided to loan the 20-year-old striker to Unión Berlin. In this way, it is confirmed that the signing of the former attacker from Molde came at a time when he was in full swing to reinforce the squad and that he has no place in the projects that Todd Boehley has built since he landed in London, first with Potter on the bench and now with Pochettino.

Fofana arrived at Stamford Bridge as a forward-thinking and powerful striker. He had done very well in Norway and Chelsea decided to pay 12 million for him, almost double what his market value was at that time. The situation worsened for the footballer from day one. He was not registered in the Champions League and barely had a presence in the Premier. What’s more, he only appeared in three games in which he amassed 68 minutes.

For this reason, and because Pochettino wants other forwards in the squad, the club has decided to send him on loan to the Bundesliga. Union Berlin was one of the revelations of last season in Germany and deservedly managed to qualify for the Champions League by finishing in fourth place. It seems an ideal place for Fofana to continue growing, although he already arrives with the doubts of a footballer for whom a lot of money was paid and who barely had a presence in London.
