CHELSEA were among clubs that expressed an interest in Lyon star Rayan Cherki, According to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Cherki is a man that is now on the agenda of the board – as he fits the criteria of being one of the most exciting young players in the game that has the ability to develop into one of the best stars in the game.
It has been claimed that Lyon do not want to sell – but that has not stopped the reports in the media that the club have made contact over a possible deal for the talented star in the coming windows.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
Speaking to Caught Offside, Romano said that there was no offer, he said: “Lyon also have plenty of interest in star player Rayan Cherki, he’s appreciated by many clubs.”
“I’m not allowed to share the names of the clubs who were in discussions over Cherki in the summer right now, it’s still a secret, but I can say he’s a player CHELSEA have been following.”
“There have been a lot of rumours this week, but it was never anything concrete between Chelsea and Lyon. The main talks between Chelsea and Lyon were over Bradley Barcola, not Cherki, it’s not something imminent or a priority target for Chelsea.”
WILL CHELSEA MAKE A MOVE IN JANUARY?
What we have seen from that board in the last couple of windows, is that if they want a player, they will pay whatever it takes to get a transfer deal done.
