Arsenal have launched a surprise late move for Lyon sensation Malick Fofana as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options before the transfer window slams shut. The Belgian winger has emerged as a key target following the club's failed pursuit of Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior and the impending departure of Gabriel Martinelli to the Saudi Pro League.
Manchester City have been forced to look elsewhere in the final stages of the transfer window after Liverpool took a firm stance on Cody Gakpo's future. The Premier League champions launched a significant move for the Netherlands international, but the Reds are unwilling to part ways with their versatile forward without a guaranteed successor in place.
