Sevilla maintain interest in Chelsea star David Datro Fofana to replace Youssef En-Nesyri

Sevilla’s interest in acquiring Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana remains unwavering, with the Spanish club eyeing the 21-year-old Ivorian as a potential replacement for Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesyri.

That is as per Relevo. Sevilla’s interest in Fofana is not new, considering they showed a lot of interest in securing his services in the January transfer window as well.

Fofana, currently on loan at Burnley, has emerged as a prime target for Sevilla, who view him as a suitable candidate to fill the void left by En-Nesyri. The young striker spent the first half of the season on loan at Union Berlin before being recalled by Chelsea and subsequently loaned out to Burnley in January.

What next for Fofana?

During his stint at Burnley, Fofana has showcased his goal-scoring prowess, notching four goals and providing an assist in nine appearances across all competitions. His impressive performances have caught the attention of Sevilla, who are keen to secure his services for the upcoming season.

While Fofana has the potential to establish himself as a prominent figure in the Chelsea starting XI next season, the club’s financial constraints, particularly concerning FFP regulations, may necessitate the sale of the player. The Blues’ FFP issues could compel them to consider offers for Fofana, especially if Sevilla presents an attractive proposition.

For the Ivorian international, a move to Sevilla would offer the opportunity for further development and regular first-team action, providing him with a platform to continue his growth as a striker. The allure of competing in La Liga and challenging for silverware could prove enticing for the young Ivorian, potentially swaying his decision in favour of a move to the Spanish side.
