There is speculation, although unconfirmed, that David Datro Fofana could be the Chelsea striker Widzew Łódź was interested in acquiring. Fofana, who transferred to Chelsea from Molde for twelve million euros in 2023, has been loaned to several clubs, including Union Berlin, Burnley, and Göztepe. Mindaugas Nikoličius, the sporting director of Widzew Łódź, disclosed that the club had reached out to Chelsea for a striker, but the player opted not to play in the Ekstraklasa. While the player's identity was not revealed, considering Chelsea's current lineup and the striker's history of being loaned out, it is likely that Fofana was the player in question. Despite his potential, Fofana has faced challenges in securing a place in Chelsea's first team, with only four appearances since his transfer. His loan periods, such as his recent time at Göztepe, have been hindered by limited playtime and injuries, resulting in just nine appearances and two goals in Turkey.
