Chelsea are very busy in the summer transfer window. They have been linked with multiple players across whole Europe. One of them is versatile Belgian attacker who is very young. The Blues have now been handed a major boost in his pursuit.
Chelsea have successfully qualified for round of 16 in Club World Cup. While the team is busy playing, the board is working hard in transfer window. Enzo Maresca wants to improve multiple position before entering next season. The Italian is still feeling need to improve the attacking unit despite having top players.
The Blues have signed Liam Delap as new striker. But, they are keen to sign yet another striker but with different profile. As Joao Felix and Nkunku are set to leave, they want a versatile player. Hence, they are monitoring players like Hugo Ekitike and Joao Pedro who can perform in variety of positions.
Another player whom the Blues are linked with is Malick Fofana. He is 20 year old Belgian attacker who currently plays for Lyon. He can play as both winger and striker which makes him key asset. Fofana ended the 2024/25 season with 11 goals and 5 assists in 41 games.
Chelsea handed boost in the pursuit of Malick Fofana
According to Football London, the Blues have already made initial contact with Lyon for Fofana. They are now handed a major boost in his pursuit. Lyon have been relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2. Hence, many of their top players will move away from the club this summer.
Chelsea can take advantage of this situation to sign Fofana. They can also be able to sign him on discount. It can be easy to convince the 20 year old. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world and hence it will be a major step-up in Fofana’s career. In addition, he will want to play in top-flight leagues and with Champions League football joining the Blues seems like a tempting destination.
