Arsenal have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Lyon forward Malick Fofana, according to BBC News, as the Gunners continue their hunt for attacking reinforcements before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Mikel Arteta's side have already been busy this window, bringing in Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa and Christos Tzolis, but are still keen to add another forward option to their squad before business closes.

Fofana, who has impressed for Lyon, has emerged as a name touted to Arsenal, though the report stresses this is currently a case of the player being offered rather than any concrete move being advanced. With the clock ticking on deadline day, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will follow up on the opportunity or look elsewhere to complete their forward line before the window shuts.
