Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Malick Fofana from Lyon when the transfer window reopens in January.
They failed with a late push to sign the Belgian attacker during the summer transfer window. According to a report from CaughtOffside, they will return for the 20-year-old when the transfer window reopens.
Spurs remain keen on Malick Fofana
The report read: “January is already shaping up as a crucial moment for Fofana’s future. Tottenham made a late push to sign the Belgian on deadline day, but their attempt was rejected by Lyon, who had no time to secure a replacement. Spurs still view Fofana as a key target and are considering a fresh approach once the market reopens.”
Fofana is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for Tottenham. They need more unpredictability in the final third, and he will add pace and flair to the side. He is young enough to improve further, and he could develop into a top-class Premier League attacker.
Fofana could be tempted to join
Tottenham have an exciting project, and the player could be attracted to the idea of joining them. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to test himself in the Premier League. They will be able to provide him with Champions League football and the platform to fight for trophies as well.
The player is likely to cost €50 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are ready to pay up. Even though the asking price might seem like a premium, the player has the potential to justify the investment in future.
