Fofana to decide between Sunderland and Palace

- Published
Crystal Palace are attempting to hijack Sunderland's move for Lyon's Malick Fofana.
The winger had agreed to join the Black Cats in a deal worth just under £30m, but the Eagles have now made their own proposal.
It is now up to the the 21-year-old to decide as he travels to England for a medical, having been offered a five-year contract at the Stadium of Light.
Any deal would cost an initial £25.6m, with a potential £4.3m in add-ons.
Arsenal also attempted to sign Fofana, but the Premier League champions were unable to agree a fee with Lyon.
