  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Premier League champions Liverpool have made an enquiry over the signing of Lyon star Rayan Cherki but are expected to face competition from Manchester City and Tottenham, according to Le Parisien. The 21-year-old eventually stayed at OL last year having courted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, but the Ligue 1 winners are not keen to wait around again and aren't expected to make another move, opening the door for Cherki to depart for an English side.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Cherki ended up renewing his contract with Lyon but there is a release clause of just €22.5m written into the deal. The price represents a bargain in the current market and Tottenham and Europa League final opponents Manchester United were both reported to be ramping up their interest in the talented youngster at the end of last month. However, City are also on the lookout for fresh legs in midfield and the prospect of playing a prominent role in a planned resurgence under Pep Guardiola could be an enticing one for Cherki.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Cherki scored in both legs of Lyon's Europa League quarter-final with United as the Ligue 1 side were knocked out of the competition in extraordinary fashion. He has registered eight goals and ten assists in Ligue 1 this season, but there is a danger of Lyon failing to qualify for European football next season as they currently sit seventh in France's top flight.
