Burnley bolsters attack with loan signing of Chelsea's Fofana

Posted : 13 January 2024

Burnley has secured Chelsea's Ivory Coast forward, David Datro Fofana, on loan until the end of the season in a bid to bolster their attack and avoid relegation from the Premier League.

 

Fofana, 21, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Bundesliga side Union Berlin, has joined the Clarets after catching Chelsea's attention with his impressive goal-scoring record at Norwegian club Molde. Although Fofana has yet to make a significant impact at Stamford Bridge, Burnley aims to benefit from his speed, ability to link up play, and goal-scoring talent.

 

The signing comes as Burnley seeks to address its offensive struggles, having scored only 21 goals this season, the second-lowest in the Premier League. Burnley manager Vincent Kompany acknowledges the challenges in finding a player with proven numbers but emphasizes the need to strengthen the team.

 

 While he does not expect Fofana to outperform certain players consistently, Kompany believes Fofana's attributes, including speed and goal-scoring history, can contribute positively to the squad.

 

Fofana expressed his enthusiasm about joining Burnley, seeing it as the right place to take the next steps in his career. Having observed several games, he believes Burnley is the ideal environment for his development. Despite the challenges highlighted by Kompany, Fofana is optimistic about contributing to the team's success during his loan spell at Turf Moor.
