Datro Fofana David Chelsea, please... please don't screw this up. He might make for a legendary tale. In fact, he already is for Norwegian football. But with Chelsea in charge, it all depends on whether the momentum can last.
improved over Erling Haaland? Technically, no. Not with a football brain. However, there are many people in the Norwegian game, even in Molde, who would say that they have natural skill. The best undeveloped talent they've seen in Norway is Fofana. It's also challenging to comprehend somebody claiming otherwise once you grasp the background.
Magnus Eikrem Wolff, a former member of the Manchester United junior team who has become acquainted with the 20-year-old, says "His first training session was just wonderful." "He put the ball into the goal in a really weird way that I've never seen before, fooled the keeper with one touch and just knocked it into the goal.
"He does things we have never seen before at the stadium here."
Tromso skipper Ruben Yttergård Jenssen admitted recently: "He Fofana ... I don't know how they found him, but he was absolutely raw to me. I think he must be one of the best that has been in the Eliteserien."
He was rejected. Multiple times. Not by European clubs. Nor scouts. But by local academies at home in Abidjan. He would trial. He would test. But the offers never came. And as such, Fofana learned the game by playing street football.
