Datro Fofana, an Ivorian striker, has been transferred from Norwegian club Molde to English club Chelsea, sparking interest among Chelsea supporters.
Molde made his debut in Norway. Some fans have compared him to the late Didier Drogba, the legendary striker for the Blues, and have posted videos of some of Drogba’s most impressive goals.
How does his performance this year compare to last, and what drew Chelsea’s attention in the first place?
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland may have heard of the club Molde before, as he currently plays for them. Molde is the home stadium for Fofana. Although he can play on either flank, his primary position is as a striker.
The campaign for 2021-2022.
The forward had a productive season the previous year, appearing in 29 matches for his club in Norway’s top division. His club won all three of their competitions, thanks to his 17 goals and six assists. That implies that he was in charge of around one goal for them every time they played.
