Chelsea considering Strasbourg as an option for Datro Fofana loan move (reliability: 5 stars)

L'Equipe

 are now being considered as an option for 

The player is also reported to have other options so they will weigh them and decide the best possible move for his loan move.

Galatasaray is another destination that has recently been linked to Datro Fofana, 

Fofana only arrived at Chelsea in January and has not been given a significant minutes to prove his worth yet. 

The indication that he will go out on loan does suggest that there may be a long-term future for him at Chelsea if he impresses for his loan club this season.

The striker is certainly not happy with his time out in the cold and has reminded Chelsea about how good he is with this solo goal he scored while playing for Molde in the 

. He adds some emojis that hints at his true feelings. 

Fofana was signed from Molde in the summer for €12m. The Ivorian forward scored a decent 17 goals in 29 games last season.

 fans were impressed when the club signed 

 in January. His record spoke volumes — 17 goals, 6 assists in 29 games last season. 

However, upon arriving at Stamford Bridge in January, 

 didn't consider him a serious option to play the number 9 role at Chelsea. Thus, the 20-year-old warmed the bench for his first three 

 outings and was given a 15-minute cameo for the 0-0 draw against

 defeat and Fofana hasn't been seen anywhere near Chelsea's matchday squad. 

The player is certainly not injured, or Potter would've mentioned it in his pre-match press conference. 

It's not a mental or emotional problem either. We can tell Fofana is doing just fine under the radar at Chelsea. 

The powerful striker has been relegated to Chelsea's under-21 squad also known as the Development squad. We've seen Fofana play two games for the under-21s in March and he scored a beauty in one of those games - against Liverpool. 

Datro Fofana needs time to get into the good books of Potter and break into the first team. For now, he's just not rated and that makes his €12m January signing a surprise.

Being on the bench is never the best way to learn. He has to practicalize what he has installed in his brain to improve himself. That's why you see them clamouring for game time. Therefore it's best for him, if Poch doesn't have that patience to get him up to his fit, then a loan deal is better for him to bring him back to his very best and consistency.

Loan is the best for him. With loan he will get more experience. He is from a very low league. So he needs to go out on loan

Christian Ike

Being on the bench for Chelsea doesn't mean he will not be getting a game time. The coach can bring him in whenever the game is 💯 secured...like when we are already leading like 2/3 goals up and he can as well start some simple games.

seyi maxwell

Yes but still not consistent enough. Anyways.

Even the club they are about to loan him to, there's no guarantee that he will be a starter or getting a constant game time.

He will be because he's from Chelsea senior team. Strasbourg is now owned by Chelsea owner Boehly. The purpose of acquisition is to send players on loan and also train players to standard. City too own other football clubs.

Very much true it will be unfair to loan him without giving him time to prove his Qualities.

Chelsea should give this amazing guy chance in the team to prove himself now, the guy is a raw talent. Even if we still have to sign a new striker, put him on the bench and let him learn along.

This guy surely has to be given a chance, why buy a striker if you're not going to use him.

Good news - at his age the guy desperately needs lots of competitive playing time. Come back stronger next year and be part of the first team.
