Chelsea striker joins Burnley on temporary deal

Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana has made a temporary move to Burnley for the rest of the Premier League campaign.

The Ivorian joined Union Berlin on loan during the first half of the season, but he struggled to impress with just two goals from 17 appearances.

The 21-year-old also had issues with the manager over there and there were no surprises that the Blues recalled him by triggering a break clause.

He has now joined the Clarets on a short-term loan and will be hoping to guide them out of the relegation zone in the next four-and-a-half months.

Burnley have been in the drop zone since their return to the top-flight. They are currently four points adrift of 17th-placed Everton in the standings.

Vincent Kompany's side are not far away from safety, but they have lacked the presence of a striker, who can convert their chances into goals.

Fofana was a revelation during his time at Molde before joining Chelsea. He will be aiming to find the same form with the Clarets going forward.
