Fulham have signed attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki. Before completing his move, the 20-year-old made over 100 games in Ligue 1.

Fulham have made an approach to Lyon over their highly-rated attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki.

At just 20-years-old Cherki has already made more than 100 senior appearances in all competitions since graduating from the Ligue 1 side’s youth academy in 2019.

Cherki played an integral role last season as Lyon recovered from a dismal spell before the winter break for the 2022 World Cup to eventually finish seventh in the French top flight.

The France youth international has long courted attention from Premier League teams and was linked with a move to Chelsea last summer as a potential replacement for Christian Pulisic at Stamford Bridge.

Despite Cherki’s contributions Lyon have struggled this season, with the former giants of French football floundering in the relegation zone having already had three separate managers.
