Career
A product of Afrique Football Élite, Fofana joined Lens in 2022, joining the club's reserve team in the Championnat National 3. On 11 June 2023, he signed for Reims's reserve team in the same division.[1] Fofana became a standout performer for the reserve side,[2] and eventually made his professional debut in Ligue 1 on 4 February 2024 in a 3–2 home defeat to Toulouse.[3][4]
On 25 August 2024, Fofana made his first professional start in a match away to Marseille.[5] He went on to score Reims's second goal of the match in a 2–2 draw, a goal that was described as "quite simply sublime" by L'Équipe.[6][7]
