Fofana’s three goals earn FC Porto four points, top winter signing | OneFootball

Loaned by Rennes to FC Porto until the end of the season, Seko Fofana quickly became the most influential winter signing in the Dragons’ squad. At least that is the conclusion suggested by the numbers posted by the Ivorian midfielder in blue and white. The Elephants international has already scored three times and, on all of those occasions, his goals had a direct impact on Porto’s points tally in the league.

In practical terms, Fofana has already added four points to Francesco Farioli’s team, thanks to his accurate strikes against Sporting (1-1), on his debut, against SC Braga (a 2-1 win at the Pedreira), and, the day before yesterday, against Famalicão (2-2).

Doing the math, if not for Rodrigo Pinheiro’s late goal, Fofana’s contribution would now stand at six points. Even so, remaining at four, the experienced 30-year-old midfielder is the winter signing with the greatest direct impact on the Dragons’ league standing — Pietuszewski also has three goals, but only the one he scored against Benfica, at the Luz, had a direct effect on the points won.

At the same time, Seko Fofana managed to take two points off one of FC Porto’s direct rivals: Sporting, in the clássico played at the Dragão.

Moreover, Fofana used social media yesterday to leave a motivational message aimed at the blue-and-white world, but also, in some way, at Porto’s dressing room. “Heads up! One more point and the negative is already behind us. We focus on the positive, work hard, and keep moving forward all together,” wrote the Ivorian midfielder on Instagram, with several teammates, such as Rodrigo Mora and Terem Moffi, endorsing Seko’s words.
