Burnley Football Club is on the verge of completing a significant loan deal for Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana. The French centre-back is set to make a temporary switch to the Clarets after a competitive pursuit for his services.
Wesley Fofana, a French national, currently plays as a defender for Premier League giants Chelsea. His impending move to Burnley represents a major coup for the Lancashire-based club, which has managed to fend off stiff competition to secure his signature on a loan basis.
The transfer has been confirmed as Fofana was seen with Ali Barat, the owner of Epic Sports, preparing for his new chapter in Burnley. This acquisition is expected to bolster Burnley’s defensive options as they continue their campaign.
Details of the loan agreement are yet to be disclosed, but the deal is almost completed, with Fofana set to leave Chelsea temporarily to gain more playing time and experience at Turf Moor under Burnley’s management.
