Liverpool are reportedly tussling with Arsenal and Barcelona for a Lyon winger Malick Fofana, as they potentially eye up Mohamed Salah successors. Salah’s struggles have been evident so far this season, with the Egyptian a shadow of the player who has been one of the Reds’ best-ever players over the past eight years.

He also plays for Manchester City, which, with all due respect, is a level above Lyon. Malick is younger and still developing.” Malick has already proven himself at the top level despite his tender years, scoring one goal in five caps for Belgium and bagging 16 goal contributions in 55 Ligue 1 appearances, and he is capable of excelling on both the left and right wing.

He should be considered a great option for Liverpool for years to come, not necessarily coming in as a direct replacement for Salah – he is at his best on the left flank – but adding much-needed attacking depth in wide areas for the Premier League champions. He has accumulated over 30,000 followers on Twitter/X.
