Sunderland winger Malick Fofana and left-back Dayann Methalie could make their starting debuts against Hull City in Tuesday's Carabao Cup third-round tie. Deadline-day signing Fofana came off the bench in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Brentford and played a role in Enzo le Fee's equaliser. "It's a good opportunity to give minutes in a competitive game, which is very positive," said manager Regis le Bris.
Lyon sporting director Matthieu Louis-Jean has revealed that the club got involved in helping Malick Fofana choose Sunderland. The post ‘We Got Directly Involved’ – Sporting Director Makes Sunderland Deal Admission appeared first on Inside Futbol | Latest Football News, Transfer Rumours & Articles.
The day, for Malick Fofana, started with Arsenal, on the hunt for a left winger, registering their interest. It ended with him signing for Sunderland, and had plenty in between.
Malick Fofana's chaotic move to Sunderland was "a really difficult story to cover", says BBC Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel. The Black Cats eventually beat Crystal Palace to the signing of the 21-year-old forward from Lyon in a deal worth £30m, after previous interest from Arsenal. "It was really a dramatic day and definitely one of the narratives of Deadline Day for sure," Mokbel told BBC Radio Newcastle.
