The favourites could well be Al-Qadsiah FC, the same club that is on the verge…
AC Milan’s newest recruit, Youssouf Fofana, has offered a chance to get some insight into him as a player and person in an interview today. Fofana’s saga can be viewed in two lights – frustration or excitement.

Some may see that as puzzling, as if the Rossoneri were willing to pay the fee, why did they not do so…
