Overview

  • French outlet L’Équipe reports Arsenal and Bayern Munich have the 20-year-old winger on their shortlist with potential movement expected near the end of the window.
  • Lyon value Malick Fofana at about €40m as they look to raise money through player sales following recent financial scrutiny.
  • Everton made the only concrete offer so far, reported at around €36m including add-ons, but the player prefers a Champions League destination.
  • Arsenal’s ability to pursue Fofana remains contingent on outgoing transfers and a board green light, according to reporting cited from Ben Jacobs.
  • Fofana, a Belgium international, logged 11 goals and six assists for Lyon last season and has been flagged for his work rate and dribbling on the left.
