Surprise Bombshell as Ornstein Reveals Club "Working to Hijack Sunderland Move for Malick Fofana"
Crystal Palace are trying to sway the 21-year-old Belgium winger after Sunderland agreed a deal worth up to £35 million, sources told ESPN.
- On Tuesday, Crystal Palace launched a late bid to hijack Sunderland's transfer for Lyon winger Malick Fofana, the 21-year-old previously set to join the Black Cats. Negotiations remain active as the deadline approaches.
- Sunderland had verbally agreed to a deal worth up to £35m, comprising a £30m upfront fee and potential £5m in add-ons. Fofana had already booked a medical with the club before Palace's intervention.
- Palace manager Pierre Sage contacted the Belgium international to sway the deal on the same terms struck with Lyon. Arsenal were also offered the chance to sign Fofana on Monday but declined to pursue the transfer.
- Fofana is weighing his options between the two Premier League clubs as negotiations remain fluid. David Ornstein reported the situation is advancing, stating the transfer is "not closed but situation advancing."
- Arsenal fans face uncertainty after missing out on Fofana while Gabriel Martinelli completes a move to Al Hilal. The Gunners replaced Leandro Trossard with Christos Tzolis this summer, raising questions about attacking depth.
