After being the second-best team in the Eliteserien for a very long time, where the likes of Bodo/Glimt have shown high-level dominance, Molde FK are back to being the best team on the land and have been very dominant in the league this season and are currently running away with the league title.
There have been some splendid performers for them, and the one to watch out for is their 19-year-old centre-forward, David Fofana.
The teenager has had a breakthrough season and has been one of their consistent performers at a very early stage in his career.
This scout report, in the form of a tactical analysis, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Fofana as a player and outlines how he contributes to Moldes tactics and playing style.
Let’s begin the analysis.
David Datro Fofana Player Profile
David Fofana is a right-footed forward who plays as a centre-forward at Molde as part of their two-man forward system.
He has featured both in the left centre-forward and the right centre-forward position as well, and rotates with his strike partner in occupying different lanes across the pitch.
We can see from the above map that he has been very active around the penalty box and has also been active across the different vertical zones across it, though slightly more oriented around the left side, which is his starting position.
He stands at 181 cm, which is a suitable height for a striker, and for his age, he possesses very good pace, power, and a hint of explosiveness when he looks to carry the ball, something we will examine in more detail.
