Fulham are one of a host of clubs interested in signing Olympique Lyonnais starlet Malick Fofana this summer, according to the Independent’s Miguel Delaney.
The 20 year-old winger seems set to leave OL this summer following their relegation to Ligue 2 due to financial irregularities, which could spark a fire sale of the club’s key players. Fofana, recently capped by Belgium after a stellar season with Olympique Lyonnais where he scored 11 goals in 41 games, has the ability to play anywhere across the forward line and is a man in demand. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Napoli and Bayern Munich have all been in touch with Fofana’s representatives and the French side are keen to generate a bidding war.
Delaney’s report suggests OL have slapped a £51.5m price tag on their former Gant winger and it had been reported yesterday by Fabrizio Romano that Forest had agreed a deal to sign him. But L’Equipe reported yesterday that Fofana is seeking a move to a Champions’ League side.
Another excuse for a bad alliteration…
I object, this is an excellent alliteration applied to the syllable, fo, instead of the more common letter, in this case F. A term I have trouble with is is “swoop”. One imagines our management team sitting in trees waiting to sign a new player. A typical scene from a Disney film.
The amazing alliteration always amuses me.
Wants to go to champions league team so why bother even putting it in print end of story
Amazing alterations always amuse Alan
