David Datro Fofana is one of several players stuck at Chelsea having failed to secure a move away during the summer transfer window but is still trying to find a way out of the Premier League club this month.
The forward has only featured in four matches for the Blues since arriving from Molde in January 2023 and has never been part of the long-term plans at Stamford Bridge.
