The Merseyside club are reportedly exploring a move for Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana who has been expected to leave Stamford Bridge on a temporary spell before the deadline day. The Ivory Coast international has struggled to hit the ground running at Chelsea and the club will be willing to accept a dry loan for the 21-year-old striker.

He had loan spells with both Union Berlin and Burnley last season and now Everton manager Sean Dyche has identified Fofana as a temporary replacement for Neal Maupay. But Everton’s financial situation makes it difficult for them to make any move in the transfer market.

🔵 After Kepa deal signed and Lukaku all sealed, Chelsea keep working on other solutions for several players including David Datro Fofana.

Fofana currently training with U21 squad and available on the market with talks to follow in the next days.
