Chelsea misfit David Datro Fofana, who is expected to be returned from loan, is “lined up for shock transfer to LaLiga giants.”

According to sources, SEVILLA is prepared to make a January loan move for David Datro Fofana, a striker for Chelsea.

The 21-year-old Ivorian played in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin throughout the first half of the season.

In 17 games, he has only scored twice, and Union has fallen to 15th place in the standings.

In October, Fofana’s German team punished him for his violent response at being replaced during a Champions League match against Napoli.

Urs Fischer, the forward’s manager, refused to shake hands with him, so he had to be comforted on the bench.

After receiving a one-week ban from his club, Fischer was fired the next month.

For the second half of the season, Sevilla wants to bring Fofana to Spain, according to trade specialist Fabrizio Romano.

The defending Europa League champions want to strengthen their front line after a disappointing season thus far.

The team captained by Quique Sanchez Flores is now 16th in La Liga, one point above the relegation zone.

A year ago, Fofana signed an £8 million deal to join Chelsea from Molde.

Before being assigned to Union Berlin last term, he made four appearances for the Blues.

The 5’11” striker scored his first goal for Union in November during a 1-1 Champions League draw with Napoli.

In the final match before the winter break last month, he scored against Koln to finally get off to a good start in the Bundesliga.

Despite Fofana’s three caps, the Ivory Coast did not include him in their roster for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.
