Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Lyon attacker Malick Fofana.
The 20-year-old has attracted a lot of interest with his performance, and Tottenham have been keeping tabs on his development for quite some time. According to a report from TEAMtalk, they are looking to add more quality and depth in the file third, and the Belgian could be a target for them.
Tottenham admire Malick Fofana
Dean Jones said: “If there is a battle to sign Fofana then it will be interesting to see if Tottenham position themselves as part of it.
“They had a look at him in the build up to last summer but by the time they decided to go for him it was a bit too late to bring anything to life.
“They have watched him a lot across the calendar year and obviously we know Spurs are drawing up their list of attacking options at the moment for future windows, so he probably would figure within that.”
The young attacker will only improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a future star for the North London club. They need more cutting edge in the final third. Fofana will add pace, flair, and unpredictability to the side.
Fofana could fancy a move
The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for him as well. He is valued at €50 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay up. They have the resources to get the deal across the line. They are looking to build a team for the future, and signing one of the most promising young attackers in Europe could be a step in the right direction.
They could help him develop further and fulfil his potential. Regular football in England could bring out the best and accelerate his development.
The attacker has been linked with other Premier League clubs as well, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature. They need to act quickly in order to get the deal done.
