Lyon’s Malick Fofana ‘rejects’ Hull City approach
Aug 30 2026 10:50 · By onefootball.com · 13 Reads
Lyon forward Malick Fofana has turned down a move to newly promoted Premier League side Hull City, according to Foot Mercato.
After failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League last week, Lyon are now forced to sell. Fofana is considered the likeliest departure, and Ruben Kluivert has also been linked with an exit.
Hull submitted a bid for the 21-year-old. The Belgium international is understood to be aiming for a move to a bigger club.
Several other sides are keen, including Sunderland. Fofana is also viewed as a potential alternative to Olympique de Marseille’s Igor Paixao.
His representatives have offered him to multiple clubs, including Arsenal. The player is expected to leave Lyon before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
