Youssouf Fofana: Tottenham linked with France and Mali midfielder

France and Mali midfielder Youssouf Fofana, currently at Sevilla FC, has been linked with a move to Tottenham.

The 27-year-old joined Sevilla on loan from AC Milan on 1 September 2026 and is scheduled to return to the Italian club at the end of the season. Tottenham’s reported interest comes with Fofana’s current agreement due to run until 30 June 2027.

Fofana has made nine LaLiga appearances for Sevilla this season, scoring once and providing three assists. He has been named in the starting line-up in 89% of the club’s league matches and has played 87% of the available minutes.

The central midfielder moved to Milan from Monaco in August 2024 for €26m after beginning his senior career with Strasbourg. He won the Italian Super Cup with Milan during the 2024-25 season and was part of the France squad that finished runners-up at the 2022 World Cup.

Fofana’s immediate future remains tied to his loan spell in Spain, while his return to Milan is currently scheduled for 30 June 2027.
