David Datro Fofana on the verge of joining Charlton Athletic
Celtic made an attempt to sign David Datro Fofana as part of a desperate scramble as all of their targets slip away from them.
Anthony Joseph reported that Fofana has turned down the chance to come to Glasgow on loan for the season and will instead join Championship side Charlton Athletic on loan.
