Tottenham is preparing to renew its efforts to sign Belgian winger Malick Fofana, a player from Olympique Lyon, during the upcoming winter transfer window, after negotiations failed on the last day of the summer transfer market due to Lyon's inability to secure a replacement in time.

According to what was revealed by the "CaughtOffside" website, Fofana remains a key target for Tottenham, amid expectations that Lyon will ask for around 50 million euros to part with him, especially since the player is considered one of the top young talents in Ligue 1, having delivered impressive performances with the team since the start of the season.

The interest in Fofana is not limited to Tottenham alone, as several major clubs in Europe are competing to sign him, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Napoli, according to reports from reliable sources such as L'Equipe and Fabrizio Romano.

Tottenham hopes to finalize the deal early to strengthen their attacking line, especially with the team's need to compensate for absences and injuries, given Fofana's rising performance, which could make him a more challenging target if he continues to shine in the coming months.
