Club career
Fofana started his career by playing youth football for several amateur clubs in Groningen including GVAV-Rapiditas. During his family's summer vacation in 2012, Fofana played a street football tournament at Lyon where a scout of Barcelona was present.[2] He was impressed by Fofana's style of play and recommended him to the club. Fofana joined Barcelona following year after two internships at the club.[3] However, he was forced to leave the club after two years as FIFA imposed a sanction on Barcelona for buying players aged under 18.[4] He returned to Netherlands after leaving Barcelona and joined PSV later.[5]
On 2 August 2019, PSV announced that three 16-year-olds from their youth academy including Fofana have signed their first professional contract with the club.[6] He signed a three-year contract through to the summer of 2022.[7] He made his professional debut for Jong PSV on 6 November 2020 in a 2–1 league win against Den Bosch.[8] He played whole 90 minutes in the match and scored his team's both goals.[8]
On 7 July 2021, Fofana made his first appearance for PSV by scoring a hat-trick in 10–1 friendly win against Delbrücker SC.[9] After being an unused substitute in 2021 Johan Cruyff Shield win against Ajax, he made his official debut for PSV on 10 August in a UEFA Champions League qualifying match against Midtjylland.[10]
On 20 August 2021, Fofana extended his contract with PSV until June 2025.[11]
International career
Fofana is a Dutch youth international. On 27 August 2021, he received maiden call-up to Netherlands under-21 team for 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification matches.[12] On 7 September, he made his Dutch youth team debut by coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Brian Brobbey in 3–0 win against Moldova.[13]
