David Datro Fofana Joins AEK Athens on Loan

Hull City experienced a busy transfer deadline day, adding four new players, including goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and midfielder Kasey Palmer, while also securing Steven Alzate shortly after. Despite a total of 16 new signings, the club notably failed to secure a third striker, missing out on David Datro Fofana, who ultimately rejected their offer. Meanwhile, Chelsea have seen David Datro Fofana leave on loan to AEK Athens, marking him as the 41st player to exit the club during a tumultuous summer transfer window. Chelsea's outgoings included big names like Raheem Sterling and Romelu Lukaku, as they work to balance their squad and finances. The loan deal for Fofana includes a £20 million option to buy, contingent on AEK's decision next summer. Overall, both clubs are navigating significant changes in their rosters as the new season unfolds.
