Mauricio Pochettino is set to send David Datro Fofana on loan for the rest of the seasonChelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino sending David Datro Fofana on loan to Burnley for the rest of the season should be an ideal match for all parties, providing the move goes through. Fofana arrived at Chelsea in January last year as part of Todd Boehly's youthful recruitment drive. A handful of appearances for the Blues in 2022/23 failed to see Fofana stamp his authority on the first team, and he was sent on loan to Union Berlin during the summer. David Datro Fofana scored two and assisted one on loan at Union BerlinSenior figures at Stamford Bridge took the decision to recall Fofana from his loan in Germany and organise another temporary spell away. A prominent role in a relegation battle should also see the Ivory Coast international return to Chelsea with new-found character and resilience.
