Chelsea are wrapping up deals for young attackers David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos.

Ivory Coast striker Fofana turned 20 on Thursday and is now thought to be poised to make the formal switch from Molde to Chelsea in the January window.

Meanwhile, Brazilian teenager Santos has been heavily tracked by Newcastle United and Manchester City but is understood to have settled on a move to Chelsea, says the London Evening Standard.

Chelsea's long-term squad overhaul will receive another boost with the captures of two highly-rated youngsters, with RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku in line to arrive at Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Deals for Datro Fofana and Santos will be expected to be completed quickly and to be announced in the January window.

Fofana has netted 19 goals in 34 appearances for Molde in 2022, and will now be itching to make his mark in west London.

The 18-year-old Santos has already broken into the Vasco da Gama first team, while also winning caps for Brazil Under-20s.
