Fabrizio Romano Updates on Celtic Striker Amid Transfer Interest
Fabrizio Romano, a prominent Italian journalist, has provided an update on Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana amid ongoing transfer interest. The Scottish Premiership champions, Celtic, along with Royal Antwerp and Derby County, are reportedly interested in securing Fofana’s services.
Transfer Details for David Datro Fofana
Fofana, who is currently on loan at Turkish club Fatih Karagumruk, is poised for a permanent exit from Chelsea this transfer window. Romano announced on social media platform X that discussions are underway for his departure.
Interest from Multiple Clubs
Three clubs—Celtic, Royal Antwerp, and Derby County—have expressed interest in acquiring the 23-year-old forward. This marks the second time Celtic has shown interest in Fofana; they pursued him on Deadline Day last year.
- Celtic’s initial interest was thwarted when Fofana chose to move to Charlton Athletic.
- The potential transfer to Charlton fell through due to timing issues involving Chelsea.
- As a result, Celtic signed Kelechi Iheanacho on a free transfer instead.
Current Performance
Fofana is currently on his fourth loan stint, showing impressive form during his time in Turkey. He has netted seven goals in 14 appearances for Karagumruk.
His career so far includes spells at clubs such as Union Berlin, Burnley, and Göztepe, also located in Turkey. As an Ivory Coast international since 2019, Fofana has made three appearances for his national team, with his last game played in 2022.
As the transfer window progresses, Fofana’s situation continues to garner attention. His performance in the Turkish Super Lig may influence the interest from various clubs, including Celtic, as they seek to enhance their attacking options.
