Lyon wunderkind Rayan Cherki is the subject of interest from the Premier League for a January transfer, according to a French report.
Cherki has long been regarded as one of the greatest French talents of his generation, with Real Madrid showing interest in him when he was just 16 years old. Since then, many other clubs have followed in the footsteps of the Lyon star.
Chelsea and Manchester United have been particularly linked with the player, who is now 20, but according to L’Equipe it was Fulham who attempted to make a late bid for the creative striker this month. According to the newspaper edition, “Rayan Cherki has been the subject of interest from Fulham, who have not made a concrete offer. The under-21 international was not willing to leave Lyon this winter anyway. »
Cherki’s difficult campaign
Cherki is in the midst of a difficult period in his career, so it is no surprise that he is the subject of transfer speculation. At the start of the season, it even looked like a January move was likely. The striker had a difficult relationship with former Lyon coach Fabio Grosso, who even left him out of the squad. Even under the leadership of Pierre Sage, Cherki struggled to get back to his best. He has scored just one goal this season in 21 matches in all competitions and provided just three assists.
