Youssouf Fofana: Tottenham linked with French-Malian midfielder on loan at Sevilla

Tottenham have been linked with French-Malian midfielder Youssouf Fofana, who is currently playing for Sevilla on loan from AC Milan.

The 27-year-old joined Sevilla on 1 September 2026 after leaving Milan on a season-long loan. His temporary spell is scheduled to end on 30 June 2027, when he is due to return to the Serie A club.

Fofana has started regularly for Sevilla this season, making nine LaLiga appearances and contributing one goal and three assists. He has played 87% of the available league minutes and has been named in the starting line-up in 89% of matches.

The reported interest from Tottenham would link the central midfielder with a move to the Premier League, although no transfer has been confirmed. Fofana’s current market value is listed at €15m.

He joined Milan from Monaco in August 2024 in a deal worth €26m and won the Italian Super Cup during his first season with the club. Milan’s agreement with Sevilla means his immediate future remains tied to the Spanish side for the 2026-27 campaign, while his contract with Milan runs until 30 June 2027.
