Chelsea have confirmed the arrival of David Datro Fofana from Norwegian club Molde. The striker will be registered as part of the first team on January 1, when the transfer window is open for business.

The player has been in fine form for Molde this season, scoring 15 goals and providing five assists in 24 games. And his arrival will give Graham Potter an extra forward to play, with Armando Broja ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz are the only other natural centre-forwards in the line-up. And Fofana could help add a new dynamic to the team, even though he could be considered a player for the future due to his age. It now remains to be seen whether he will be fielded by Potter in the big games coming up ahead.
