News about Youssouf Fofana

It has long been known that the forward (left) would depart the newly-crowned French champions - and likely join Real Madrid - but he took to social media last week to confirm the news.

Arsenal has lined up Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana as a potential alternative if they are unable to conclude a contract for Declan Rice. Three bids were turned down for the West Ham skipper, the first of which was for a £75 million plus-ons fee.

Boss Mikel Arteta sees the midfield as a primary area for growth this summer, and has selected Fofana as another option in the middle.

The Great Midfield Scramble may have resurfaced in 2023, with the window named as the Great Midfield Scramble.

Liverpool has followed Monaco's midfielder, who competed for France in the World Cup, and is expected to play for Chelsea this summer. Fofana has clearly got the passion to make it big in the game when he decided to make ends meet after being kicked out of France's national academy in Clairefontaine as a 15-year-old. After his scouts discovered him playing amateur football, Strasbourg gave him a second chance. He has since returned to Monaco to establish himself.

IAN HERBERT - DEPUTY SPORTS WRITER IN DOHA: L'Equipe started the week off with a piece about English writers' obsession with Kylian Mbappe, who appeared here last night, and Kyle Walker's insistence that he would not'roll out the red carpet' for the 23-year-old had a definite hit a chord. When the Manchester City defender's words were quoted, he 'Hats off to him (Walker) if he can stop Kylian.' In the French league, there are 19 other clubs competing for an answer, but the truth is on the pitch. We will believe in Kylian as a Frenchman.'

As France takes on Tunisia at the Education City Stadium on Wednesday, November 30, they will be looking to make it three wins out of three. So, with Tunisia's clash with France quickly approaching, Sportsmail takes you through all you need to hear about the Group D game.

Even without injured stars Paul Pogba (bottom right) and N'Golo Kante (middle right), their midfield still looks fantastic. Both Aureal Madrid's Andre and Eduardo Camavinga could line up in a thrilling, technically solid midfield pivot, with the promising Youssouf Fofana and versatile ball players like Adrien Rabiot and Jordan Veret out. And there are plenty of others who could have deserved a spot in the 26-man squad, including injured Blues center Wesley Fofana (top right), several Premier League players, and a hotshot striker also not making the cut. In fact, France's resources are so good that even a squad made up of players who missed out on their World Cup squad, even though manager Didier Deschamps (left) declared it on Wednesday that the trophy will still have a fair shot in Qatar. With that in mind, Sportsmail has assembled an all-star lineup (centre) from those who were not chosen, whether due to injury or otherwise, and also includes an impressive XI of those who were unable to be selected.
