Chelsea actively strives to strengthen their attack options before the 2025/26 season and has made a survey concerning the highly classified Belgian winger Malick Fofana, according to reporter Sky Sports, Florian Prettenberg.
The 20 -year -old, who is currently practicing his job at Olympique Lyonnais, has become one of the many names on the restricted list of the club while they are preparing for a critical summer transfer window.
Fofana drew attention to its pace and creativity in the last third, making it an exciting long -term perspective.
Although it is not yet the higher objective of the western London team, Chelsea’s interest signals their intention to explore several options on the market while they seek to provide fresh energy and depth to their wide positions.
Chelsea set her sights on Malick Fofana
The Belgian Youth International is considered a player with a significant increase and could be an impressive addition if other priority objectives are difficult to land.
Although Fofana is considered, Chelsea’s main objective remains on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, the young English winger currently with Borussia Dortmund, as Prettenberg reported.
The blues have already reached a verbal agreement with the player and the talks have been continuing for several weeks.
Bynoe-Gittens, who appreciated a brilliant campaign in the Bundesliga, is considered a versatile attacking threat, capable of playing on one or the other of the wings.

However, negotiations with Borussia Dortmund prove to be an important obstacle. The German club would demand a total set of 65 million euros, including bonuses for the international of young people in England, an amount that Chelsea is still evaluating.
Another obstacle in the race to sign Gittens is the interest of Arsenal for the Dortmund star.
Although the Premier League team remains wishing to conclude the agreement, he does not want to pay too much too much and explores alternative targets like Fofana in case the discussions with Dortmund collapse.
Whether the club finalizes an agreement for Bynoe-Gittens or that it moves for alternatives like Fofana, it is clear that they explore attack and creative options on the market.
