Revelation of Olympique Lyonnais, Malick Fofana shone again on Sunday evening against AS Saint-Etienne. The Belgian international striker risks quickly being the subject of big offers.
Recruited in the 2024 winter transfer window for 19.5 million euros, Malick Fofana is very clearly the best investment made by John Textor since he bought Olympique Lyonnais from Jean-Michel Aulas. Without attracting the spotlight, the young 19-year-old striker is extremely effective, and this is starting to become known. While OL is going through a major financial crisis, to the point where several departures are already being discussed for the next winter market in order to fill Eagle Football Group's coffers, Malick Fofana's name is on the shelves of several clubs. At the microphone of DAZN, Walid Acherchour confided that he was totally under the spell of the OL pocket winger, but that he had to take advantage of it, because the chances of seeing him leave are great, unfortunately for Lyon and League 1.
Fofana too big for Ligue 1
For the journalist from the Ligue 1 broadcaster, it is clear that the Belgian international is a real gem. “ Let's enjoy Malick Fofana. With this level of play, I think he will arouse desire in the coming weeks and the next transfer window. Honestly, how can you not like Malick Fofana, apart from his opponent of the evening. He is a player who is not only attracted by the light, only by the ball, but he knows how to dirty the shorts, cut transitions. He has a football IQ that is remarkable. It is capable of combining, accelerating, it is an electric battery. He's the MVP of the derby. And fortunately he is there to sometimes shake up the somewhat slow play of Olympique Lyonnais in midfield. Let's take advantage of this little guy that is Malick Fofana, because he is great in talent and if he has a cute little face, he is not at all on the field », Explains Walid Acherchour, who is not the only one to think well of the Olympique Lyonnais striker. Sunday evening, OL supporters elected Malick Fofana player of the match against AS Saint-Etienne.
