The Athletic’s piece about David Datro Fofana is basically one full of hope. It runs through his story from signing for Chelsea until now, and sees an upwards trend.

EXCLUSIVE! The Inside Chelsea column with Ben Jacobs!! I am talking about goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, who has made just one single senior appearance for Chelsea since joining the club in 2021.

Boehly certainly has become a shorthand for the ownership, and those who are not paying close attention would be forgiven for thinking he was top dog, rather than just part of a wider group of owners with differing stakes. Once Boehly’s term is up in 2027, it’s over to Clearlake Capital. That’s the side of the ownership where Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano ..read more
