The 20-year-old Ivory Coast international will join Chelsea on New Year’s Day, the Premier League club confirmed yesterday.

Fofana was the leading scorer for Molde, one of Erling Haaland’s former clubs, with 15 league goals last season. He’s made three appearances for his national team.
Molde’s statement noted that Fofana is looking forward to following in the footsteps of his idol, Didier Drogba.
