Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that the player have completed all the medical tests in West London last Thursday. Chelsea have agreed to a long-term contract with Datro Fofana. Romano claims,
“David Datro Fofana has completed all medical tests on Thursday in London, then Chelsea will unveil the Ivorian striker as new signing soon, deal in place with Molde for €12m fee – it’s all confirmed.”
He further adds,
“Personal terms are fully agreed on a long term contract.”

Apparently, Chelsea are not waiting for the transfer window. They are instead getting the deals done way before that. They have already a deal with RB Leipzig for the signing of Christopher Nkunku. The Belgian international will join the Blues in the summer. Chelsea are looking to sign a lot of young players this window. As they look to build a future for the club in the long run.
