Already the author of 3 goals and 2 assists since the start of the season, Malick Fofana is increasingly establishing himself as a starter in the eyes of Pierre Sage, to the delight of OL supporters.
Substitute during the second part of last season, Malick Fofana sees his status evolve little by little at Olympique Lyonnais. Pierre Sage has made him a starter for a few games on the left lane of his attack, and the Belgian international returns this confidence in the best possible way. With three goals and two assists in just 400 minutes of play since the start of the season, the former La Gantoise nugget meets expectations when called upon. This is no surprise for those who know Malick Fofana, whose potential is immense and who has everything to establish himself over time at a very high level.
For some observers, there is no doubt that the native of Aalst will not last long in Lyon, as his talent risks quickly catching the eyes of scouts from the biggest European clubs. Questioned by the Belgian media Het Laatste Nieuws, his former youth coach at La Gantoise, Emilio Ferrera, felt that OL would quickly become too small for this immense talent. “When I started as youth coach at La Gantoise, I knew very quickly that Malick was the greatest talent I had ever trained. He can break up a meeting single-handedly.” confided the youth coach of La Gantoise, before continuing.
Malick Fofana too strong for OL?
“His selection (with Belgium) does not surprise me. Malick is a crack. All you need to take into account is that he often needs time to grow in a match. In the end, he will be there to make the difference. I think OL will be too small for Malick at some point” explained the man who knows the Olympique Lyonnais striker very well, and who thinks that the big European clubs will not take long before knocking on John Textor’s door to recruit Malick Fofana. The Rhone supporters hope for their part that they will be able to benefit from the Belgian international beyond the current season while on the side of the leaders of OL, we risk setting the bar very high for a future transfer of Fofana , who was recruited for the tidy sum of 19 million euros last January.
