Chelsea make verbal enquiry for Lyon winger Malick Fofana
Chelsea have made a verbal enquiry for Lyon winger Malick Fofana. The Premier League club have made their interest known for the 20-year-old Belgium international. He is among a number of options being considered and conversations are ongoing. Fofana joined Lyon from Belgian side Gent in January 2024 and he is contracted to the Ligue 1 club until 2028. Advertisement He provided 11 goals and six assists across 41 appearances in all competitions during the 2024-25 campaign, including six goals during Lyon's run to the Europa League quarter-finals. Fofana earned his first Belgium call up in October 2024 and has been capped once at senior level. Chelsea are in the market for a wide player this summer following the decision not to make Jadon Sancho's loan move from Manchester United permanent. A striker was another priority in the window with Liam Delap arriving from Ipswich Town earlier this month.
