Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana is on the verge of joining Turkish top flight club Goztepe on loan, after a move to AEK Athens collapsed on the Greek deadline day.
This is according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X.
“Göztepe SK agree loan deal with Chelsea for David Datro Fofana after AEK Athens move collapsed.
“It also include an option to buy and a recall clause in January.
“#CFC can bring the player back from January 1, 2025.“
Fofana, 22, saw a move collapse over late complications over terms, but it has allowed clubs in Turkey to hold talks with Goztepe winning the race.
Chelsea are keen to offload players both on a temporary and permanent basis having been accused of having an oversized squad which was at one point at 42 players but will now be cut-down to around 35.
This will include some relatively inexperienced players with minimal first team experience.
