Chelsea green light to sign ‘one of the best attackers’ in Ligue 1 given after verbal agreement reached

CHELSEA have the chance to sign Lyon winger Rayan Cherki for a cut-price fee in the January transfer window, according to reports as his current side are willing to let the attacker leave.

The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in France, scoring six goals and registering seven assists in 22 appearances for Lyon so far this season, and he is reportedly a player that we have been very interested in signing for the last few years,

Lyon’s precarious financial situation means that the French club have been banned from making any new signings in the January transfer window, and according to Sky Germany, Lyon have a verbal agreement in place with Cherki where the club would allow him to leave if they receive an offer worth €22.5m (£19m).

What we have seen from that board in the last couple of windows, is that if the clubs want a player, they will pay whatever it takes to get a transfer deal done and sign the stars the club needs.

Cherki is a real talent guys, he could be a brilliant addition to that squad if they reignite their interest in the winter window, which we believe will happen as they want to keep on improving the side.

For the money that is being talked about, the lad is certainly a player that Enzo Maresca would love to have in the side.
