Malick Fofana made the move from KAA Gent to Olympique Lyon in the winter of this year for seventeen million euros plus five million euros in bonuses. Lyon is experiencing financial difficulties, and owner John Textor is open to offers in the upcoming winter transfer window. Arsenal is one of the clubs interested in Fofana, who has a contract with Lyon until 2028 and a market value of 25 million euros. Lyon demands at least 30 million euros for the winger.

Malick Fofana, a talented Belgian winger, is having an excellent season at Olympique Lyon with 6 goals and 2 assists in 18 matches. Due to Lyon's financial issues under John Textor's management, they are considering selling Fofana. Arsenal is one of the clubs interested in acquiring him. The transfer fee is expected to be between 30 to 35 million euros.

Arsenal is interested in Lyon's Malick Fofana due to the need for more attacking options following inconsistent performances from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. Fofana is valued at around €30-35m by Lyon.
