Chelsea transfer target David Datro Fofana has been likened to Manchester City star Erling Haaland.

Chelsea are set to secure Datro's services after agreeing a fee in the region of £8.6million with Molde.

Molde manager Erling Moe was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's assistant before becoming interim boss when he left for Manchester United, having a teenage Haaland under his wing before his move to RB Salzburg. And while Datro is a different profile of player to the prolific Norwegian, he has admitted there are some similarities between the two.

"It is difficult to draw lines between two such players," Moe explained. "They are two different people. [Datro] came to us very young, and he spent a lot of time getting to know himself, both with football and everything else. He shows more and more progress. It was a bit like that with Erling too. He spent time building his body and personality as [Datro] does now. Right there, I see some similarities.

"We have seen that most things are possible when you play Molde. Erling has just signed for Manchester City, so why not?

"As long as he works hard in everyday life and wants to improve every day, that's a pretty realistic goal, but he still has a lot to prove here in Molde as well. He needs to fight at a good level, and then we'll see where it goes."
