Youssouf Fofana of AS Monaco is the target of Arsenal’s attention, according to L’Equipe. They’re not, however, pursuing this alone. Additionally putting their names in the ring and contacting Fofana’s representation are Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid.
Expecting a number of departures, the Gunners want to restructure their midfield. Albert Sambi Lokonga is probably going to join Mohamed Elneny, who has already declared his intention to leave as a free agent. Since Thomas Partey’s contract ends in the summer, he may also say goodbye then. Arsenal could want to trade him rather than keep him given his injury problems throughout the last four seasons.
With only a year remaining on his Monaco contract, Fofana is becoming a sought-after player, particularly in light of his European Championship success. For some time now, Premier League teams have had their eye on him. He elected to remain with Monaco despite interest from Fulham and Nottingham Forest last summer. His contract expiring now makes a trade appear more possible.
Arsenal Is Interested In £26m Midfielder
Priced at £26 million, Fofana adds talent to the midfield, especially with his defensive efforts. Clubs all around Europe have taken notice of his work rate, ball recoveries, and tackling skills. His propensity to misplace the ball, meanwhile, is still a worry, if controllable.
Securing Fofana’s signature for Arsenal could need first settling Thomas Partey’s issue. Partey may attract a big money from Saudi Arabian teams, giving Arsenal the means to strengthen their team.
Arsenal has to move cautiously in all of these talks. Pressure is increased by rivalry from other European teams, and the Gunners must move quickly since Fofana is aiming for a greater challenge. It remains to be seen whether they will formally express interest in Fofana, but one thing is for sure: Arsenal’s midfield makeover is well under progress.
