Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs are among the Premier League clubs to have express interest in Franco-Algerian forward Ryan Cherki.
Cherki has become a transfer target for several clubs across Europe following his outstanding performance throughout the campaign for Olympique Lyon.
The 21-year-old winger has racked up 12 goals and provided 19 assists in 43 appearance for the French Ligue 1 giants this season.
According to reports, the three Premier League clubs, who are keen on securing the services of Cherki have already enquired about the forward.
Lyon’s financial difficulties have been well documented and Cherki won’t be lacking in suitors willing to pay the fee required to acquire his services. A
Per reports, Lyon may only earn €22.5m from the sale of the France youth international, a release clause that was agreed when the player signed a one-year contract extension back in September, ensuring he wouldn’t leave on a free this summer.
Meanwhile, the winger in an interview has botched to confirm whether he will depart or remain at the club.
“I don’t know if it will be my last game (for Lyon, against SCO Angers on Saturday). I know that I have given everything for my club, that I’ve done everything possible for OL, because it is a club that I will never forget and that will forever be in my heart. I stayed when lots of players left, and I have no regrets. Whatever happens, I will give everything until the last minute at this club,” said Cherki.
