Youssouf Fofana experienced the European Championship as a backup (with just over 40 minutes total on the field) and then had to wait until August to transfer to Milan. A choice he had made some time ago, and one he decided to stick with despite interest from other clubs and complications with the deal involving Monaco, writes Milan Press.
Now, he wants to prove himself at the highest level with both the Rossoneri and the French national team.
Today's edition of the leading French sports newspaper, L'Equipe, reports that the 1999-born midfielder is set to become an important player for the national team.
He will need to confirm his new status at club level, but "his character and his understanding of the locker room" could make him one of the new leaders.
