Burnley have signed Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at German Bundesliga side Union Berlin, making 17 appearances, and scoring in the Champions League group game against Napoli.

Fofana moved to Stamford Bridge on a six-year deal in January 2023 from Norwegian side Molde, and is expected to be a signing for the future, but it hasn’t paid off so far for the young striker.

The 21-year-old now says Burnley will be the “perfect” club for him to progress.

He added: “To work with [Clarets boss] Vincent Kompany will be very good. I have seen a couple of games already and I think this is the right place for me to make the next steps.”
