Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana has returned from his loan spell at Fatih Karagümrük ahead of a possible permanent transfer, according to BBC Sport.

  • The Ivorian signed for the newly-promoted Super Lig outfit last summer, and fared well for them with eight goals from 15 appearances in all competitions.

    His form has attracted high-profile interest from European and English clubs which has urged the Blues to recall him from his temporary stint in Turkey.

    Celtic are among those who have been credited with an interest in his services, but it is unlikely that they will pay a premium fee for the marksman.

    The Scottish champions may not offer more than £4 million for the striker, while the Blues may want to recoup the £8.5m fee paid to Molde for him.

    Fofana was dubbed as the new Didier Drogba during his time at Molde, but his career has reached a standstill amid his struggles at Chelsea.
