Burnley Football Club is poised to bolster their defence by signing French defender W. Fofana from Premier League side Chelsea. The player is scheduled to travel today in preparation for a medical examination set for Saturday.
Key details of the loan agreement include Burnley covering Fofana’s salary until the end of the current season. However, the deal does not contain an option for Burnley to purchase the player outright after the loan period expires.
Fofana, who operates as a defender, is under contract with Chelsea and is expected to contribute to Burnley’s campaign with his defensive prowess upon successful completion of the medical tests and finalisation of the loan contracts.
