Every week in the VI Scout section, attention is paid to talents who are making an impression on the international fields. In this episode Malick Fofana from Olympique Lyonnais.
This VI Scout comes from the VI weekly magazine. Look at here what else is in the latest edition!
Malick Fofana
NATIONALITY: Belgian
POSITION: Attacker
LENGTH: 1,69
AGE: 19
MARKET VALUE: 12 million euros
MWith his transfer from AA Gent to Olympique Lyonnais at the beginning of this year, Malick Fofana joined a select group of Belgian football talents. With a transfer fee that can reach 22 million euros, he is the second most expensive teenager ever from Belgium. Only Jérémy Doku earned more when he switched from Anderlecht to Stade Rennes at the age of eighteen.
For Fofana, the transition to Ligue 1 came as a surprise. The day before he was to leave for a winter internship with AA Gent, he was told that an attractive offer was on the table. A few days later he was on the training field in France and made his debut in the French league shortly after his arrival. Remarkable, since Fofana has only secured a permanent starting position at AA Gent for a few months.
