Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Jonathan Clauss’ “Little Brother” interview!
Nothing smiles decidedly at Chelsea. In a delicate period on the sporting level, the London club finds itself at the heart of a controversy linked to a recent transfer. This Saturday, the Blues announced the arrival of Molde striker David Datro Fofana. The Ivorian signed a six-year contract and said he was “very happy” to join the club. Problem, according to the Mirror, relayed by the AS newspaper, Fofana’s boyhood club Abidjan City requested the cancellation of the transfer from FIFA. According to British media, the reason for the request is a dispute between the Ivorian club and the player’s mother over a letter of consent to sign when Fofana was 16 years old. According to the letter, the forward’s transfer to Molde was illegal.

Chelsea don’t want to get involved
While waiting for FIFA to possibly study the dispute, Chelsea wishes to stay out of the case, not considering itself concerned. Hope of Ivorian football, David Fofana wants to focus on his debut at Stamford Bridge. However, he should wait a little longer. Author of 24 goals and 10 assists in 65 games in Norway, Fofana has not played since November and will need time to adapt. He and the Chelsea club would in any case have done well without this affair.
