Roma eye Lyon's Malick Fofana for left wing

Roma are among the clubs monitoring Lyon's left‑winger Malick Fofana.

The 2005‑born Belgian has attracted interest from sporting director Frederic Massara since last season.

Manager Gian Piero Gasperini sees Fofana as a potential boost for his attacking lineup.

Fofana stands 169 cm tall and prefers to operate on the left flank.

He has featured in nine Ligue 1 matches this season, hampered by ankle problems.

Across 921 minutes he recorded two goals and one assist.

Lyon value the player at roughly €30 million, indicating a sizable offer will be needed.
