Tottenham Prepare January Move for Lyon’s Malick Fofana After Deadline-Day Bid Rebuffed

Lyon’s stance rests on a near‑€50 million price alongside the winger’s focus on playing time.

Overview

  • CaughtOffside reports that Spurs plan to return for the Belgian in January after a late summer approach was unsuccessful.
  • Lyon rejected the deadline‑day bid because there was not enough time to source a replacement, according to multiple reports.
  • The Ligue 1 club are expected to seek a fee in the region of €50 million for the 20‑year‑old.
  • Fofana told HBVL that Liverpool and Chelsea interest “wasn’t concrete” and that he prioritizes regular minutes at Lyon.
  • The winger has passed 50 appearances with double‑figure goal contributions for Lyon, with clubs such as Inter and Arsenal having tracked him.
