Malick Fofana speaks

Liverpool's name is one that has been brought up in the conversation around Malick Fofana.

The 20-year-old has already emerged as a star for Lyon after his £17.3m switch from Gent.

Now he is being linked with his next transfer, owed in part to his talents but also because of his club's financial struggles.

Now, he has spoken to Football Insider about such interest from high levels.

"Honestly, I hear about it (Liverpool and Arsenal) but it doesn’t affect me, so I just focus on myself, and I know when I do great that the rest will come." Fofana said.

"I watch a lot of the Premier League, I know there is a lot of big clubs, so for the moment, I just want to make that return on the pitch.

I know I am capable of that.

"I know my talents, I know what I can do, so it was just a matter of time.

I know people will always talk – I stay calm, I have a great mentality so I know it will come."

The young winger is also switched representatives to Roc Nation Sports this week.
