Newcastle United have established contact for Rayan Cherki as Eddie Howe ponders a move for the 19-year-old French prodigy.
According to L’Equipe, Newcastle United have made contact to push forward with their chase of Rayan Cherki. The 19-year-old French prodigy has attracted much interest, with Eddie Howe keen to sign the highly-rated forward in the summer.
Rayan Cherki has flourished under Laurent Blanc at Lyon. The French coach seems to have unlocked the youngster’s potential at the club, which was restricted under Peter Bosz. The 19-year-old French prodigy may have three goals and four assists. But his overall gameplay is what excites many.
Apart from a few top Premier League clubs, Real Madrid have been on the youngster’s case for quite some time. The Spanish giants are willing to try to sign him in the summer. They view him as a possible long-term successor to Karim Benzema, who ironically joined the club at a similar age from Lyon.
Cherki was thought to have dreams of playing for Real Madrid, and like many players, might find it hard to reject them. Los Blancos will have a clear path towards signing the 19-year-old French prodigy if they cement their interest with an official approach.
Until then, the door might remain open for others to attempt to lure Cherki. Newcastle United are also in the race for the 19-year-old French prodigy. Eddie Howe seeks a young forward with huge potential and one who would improve his current squad.
Since they have already signed Alexander Isak, Newcastle United seek another forward with a different profile. Cherki could be seen as a long-term successor to Callum Wilson. However, the race for the 19-year-old remains open, although the Magpies will have to work hard to convince him.
Meanwhile, the report points to PSG’s interest in Cherki, which could also pose a problem for Newcastle. The Magpies have reportedly contacted the player’s camp to understand the particulars of a potential transfer. The prospect of the Parisians would attract any French player. And the 19-year-old would open his doors to a move.
Lyon will hope for a big fee in the sale of Cherki. The forward has a year left, but the Ligue 1 giants can extend his deal by another season. Newcastle United could compete financially but struggle against legacy clubs like Real Madrid in the chase for the French prodigy.
