Arsenal and Bayern Munich are both pursuing Lyon left winger Malick Fofana, who is available for around €40m as Lyon seeks funds from player sales. Eberechi Eze appears set to join Arsenal, potentially limiting attacking opportunities but allowing rotation across left and central roles. Kai Havertz's injury and possible departures such as Gabriel Martinelli could open spaces in Mikel Arteta's squad. Leandro Trossard can cover the left, while Eze can also play centrally alongside Martin Odegaard. Liverpool and Chelsea have previously shown interest in the 20-year-old Belgium international, who remains a strong long-term prospect.
It already looks like Eberechi Eze is on his way to Arsenal, as per reports from top tier outlets such as the Athletic and the Independent. And now reliable French newspaper L'Equipe is reporting that Arsenal are alongside Bayern in looking into a potential deal for Fofana. The talented young Belgium international is available for around 40m, according to the report, with Lyon under pressure to bring in some money from player sales this summer.
Arsenal might not have much room in their attack if they bring in both Eze and Fofana, but in theory they could make it work. There's always the chance that someone like Gabriel Martinelli is sold, and Kai Havertz's injury also surely changes the shape of Mikel Arteta's squad. Leandro Trossard often plays on the left, but might get more games up front now that Havertz is out, meaning Eze and Fofana could rotate for that spot on the left-hand side.
