Liverpool handed Malick Fofana opportunity

Malick Fofana, remember the name.

He has been one of the shining lights in Ligue 1 after emerging in Lyon's first-team.

But whether he remains at the French club is uncertain following the decision of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) to demote the club to the second division.

Lyon's finances have come under scrutiny and as a result, it has left the club organising an appeal to ensure they don't drop out of the top-flight.

Breaks the club-record for an arrival with the capture of Florian Wirtz and to make matters sweeter, signs Jeremie Frimpong with Milos Kerkez close.

So it seems like the Reds' approach to transfers is typically slick.

Anyway, there are no new links with Fofana in light of the demotion.

But there has been some speculative reports that Liverpool could make the move to sign the Belgian.

Earlier this month, Sky Sports Switzerland reported that chief scout Barry Hunter is a huge fan of the starlet, adding that Liverpool are genuinely interested but would have to sell Chiesa.

Should you believe what you see on social media, the Italian's future all but lies elsewhere.

Let's see what happens, shall we?
