Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a potential move for Malick Fofana, the 21-year-old Belgian international winger currently playing for Olympique Lyonnais. The North London club is said to be considering an approach before the current transfer window concludes.

According to David Ornstein, Fofana is on Arsenal's list of potential targets, and there has already been communication between the player and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. The opportunity to sign the winger is regarded as a 'market opportunity' following Lyon's recent exit from the Champions League.

Fofana, who is a Belgium international, could offer an exciting option for Arsenal's attack. The club's interest, as reported by The Athletic, suggests they are actively exploring options to strengthen the squad in the final stages of the transfer window.
