Arsenal Offered 21yo Left Winger
Arsenal have made enquiries as Lyon need to sell players and Fofana has been offered through intermediaries, reports said.
- Arsenal are weighing a late move for Lyon winger Malick Fofana before Tuesday's transfer deadline, with intermediaries offering the 21-year-old to the club and internal discussions underway.
- Lyon needs to sell players to ease financial problems following their failure to qualify for the Champions League, while Arsenal seeks a forward to fill the void left by Leandro Trossard.
- Fofana has racked up 19 goals in 84 appearances for Lyon since joining from Gent; he previously rejected Crystal Palace's proposed move to Selhurst Park.
- Internally, there is not universal backing at Arsenal for the deal, and head coach Mikel Arteta warned the club must be "very careful" over squad acquisitions.
- Despite scouting for reinforcements, Arsenal remains happy with recent additions Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa, and Christos Tzolis, and remains open to new signings if they add quality.
