Chelsea, Liverpool target Youssouf Fofana ponders Monaco future

Monaco star Youssouf Fofana recently opened up on his future with the transfer window nearing.

The 22-year-old is already one of the key players for Monaco in Ligue 1.

However, Fofana may not be at the Ligue 1 club for long amid links with Chelsea and Liverpool.

Asked about his future, he said: “Monaco is a great club in France and Europe. A lot of big clubs come here to find players and we are all aware of this.

“If it is the right opportunity or moment [to leave], I can't say. I don't know but we are doing things the right way here at the moment.

“I have already played with top players but if one day I can play with more big names then it will be a pleasure and mean I have performed well."

Fofana added on the World Cup: “I think that the game against England was maybe the most difficult to prepare for. I wouldn't say we were worried but when you face the runners up from the Euros, of course, you think a little bit more about the game.

“We had the impression that we would play against a team like ourselves. The England team was a bit like us with a lot of qualities defensively, offensively and it was a big game. Iif Kane scored the penalty then it would have had a huge impact on the game for sure."
