Leicester looks to have got a breakthrough in the pursuit of David Datro Fofana. The Chelsea forward is close to a move, possibly a loan with an option to buy.

This will most certainly trigger a chance for Tom Cannon to go out on loan, but as we said yesterday, very uncertain about what Fofana can bring to the table at this level, being played frequently during his loan spell at Burnley last season, managing 4 goals in 15 league appearances.

David Datro Fofana was massive for Molde in Norwegian football and also showing his skills in European games, but so far not been much a first team alternative at Chelsea. Uncertain about his close touch to be that treath up front that Leicester is searching for. His stay in Bundesliga with Union Berlin earler last season, resulted in 1 goal, playing 12 Bundesliga games.

A bit sad to see Patson Daka again being thrown under the bus by a manager, as Fofana surely will be in front in the pecking order, if not, this looks a strange one.

On the other hand another rumour flying around and now also confirmed, from Fabrizio Romano, is that Leicester again are chasing a possible signing for Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho. He was on loan at Hull last season and also shown promise in pre-season.

Leicester also seen linked with Reimes midfielder Amir Richardson, as the midfielder, who has been in action for Morocco during the Olympics, looks to be for sale. Everton is also mentioned as a possible destination for the 22 year old would be a good addition.

Bouba Soumare looks to be leaving Leicester as a move to Roma or Monaco is considered. Leicester manager Steve Cooper might be open to a move as his midfield area possibly need another type or character to fill a potential gap after the former Lille star.

With the signing of David Datro Fofana it will be interesting to see how Steve Cooper will deal with Patson Daka, pushing down the pecking order as a striker alternative at Leicester. It will be interesting to see if he makes him avaiable for a move or just keeps him as the third alternative.
