THE FUSE

According to reports from Sky Sport Brighton are among the clubs interested in AC Milan's Youssouf Fofana. The midfielder, born in 1999, is not in Ruben Amorim's plans and has been left out of the squad for the trip to Turin. The former Monaco player is also attracting interest from Crystal Palace, but no official offers have arrived at via Aldo Rossi so far. Unlike Nkunku, who will leave on a paid loan with an option to buy for Leipzig, Fofana will move on a permanent deal. AC Milan, who have him under contract until 2028, want to avoid pushing a decision on his future back by a year.
