Charlton Athletic have sounded out a Premier League gem to lead the line, with loan enquiries currently being made for the youngster.
As deadline day gets underway for Championship clubs, many teams find themselves scavenging for talent late on.
It is set to be a busy day for several Championship clubs, including both Preston North End and Charlton Athletic, who are both keen on bringing a striker to their respective clubs.
As both clubs continue to observe options available to them before the summer transfer window slams shut, one Premier League talent has been identified.
Both clubs have been working tirelessly as they try and out-do each other to the signing of the ‘new Didier Drogba’.
Charlton Athletic enquire for David Datro Fofana from Chelsea as Preston North End provide competition
It has been revealed, via Pete O’Rourke on X, that both Charlton Athletic and Preston North End are keen to sign Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana ahead of the summer transfer window closing.
The out-of-favour Chelsea forward has been made surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca, making a loan move possible for Championship clubs this summer.
Chelsea forward Fofana boasts Premier League experience, with the 22-year-old having previous stints at Burnley, where he bagged four in 15 top-flight matches before being sent out on loan once again, this time to Turkish side Goztepe.
Why David Datro Fofana has been regarded as the ‘next Didier Drogba’
David Datro Fofana, when he signed for Chelsea, carried plenty of excitement after being labelled as the ‘next Didier Drogba’ in a piece of analysis on Football Transfers.
As another top forward from Molde, succeeding Man City’s Erling Haaland, he made an impression in the Norwegian Premier Division, where he managed 23 goals and assists in 29 appearances, earning him a move to the Premier League giants.
He has also previously noted that he looks to model his style off the great Drogba, his fellow national who shone at Chelsea.
If that description is anything to go by, either Charlton Athletic or Preston North End could be in for a brilliant forward to lead the line.
