Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bayern Munich could make move
Bayern Munich are among the teams interested in making a move for Fofana in the summer, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Fofana is one of the best under-21 wingers in Europe, and while he's already a key player for Lyon, it's not surprising to see some of the top teams in Europe waiting to sign him. The Belgium international has been linked with teams in the Premier League in the past, but since Bayern Munich are actively looking to sign a new winger, they should make an approach for him in the summer.
