Chelsea are set to part company with an Ivorian striker this summer in a bid to downsize their squad. According to reports from German media outlet BILD, 20-year-old David Datro Fofana is one step away from being sent out on loan without an option to buy to Union Berlin.
With a contract that runs until 2029, the Côte d'Ivoire striker will be able to find more playing time at a club that will be competing in the Champions League next season.
