Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Rayan Cherki from Lyon, and they will face competition from Premier League rivals Liverpool.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Rayan Cherki is valued at £25 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done. Spurs have the financial muscle to sign the player and they could be an attractive destination for the player as well.
Cherki has shown his ability in Ligue 1, and he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. He could be a key player for Tottenham. He is versatile enough to operate as the central attacking midfielder as well as in the wide areas. The Frenchman will add goals, technical ability, and unpredictability to the Tottenham attack.
The reported £25 million asking price is quite reasonable for the playmaker, and he could easily justify the investment in the long term. The player has 26 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be a major upgrade on players like Richarlison and Timo Werner.
Liverpool want Rayan Cherki
Liverpool are keen on the player as well. The Reds need more creativity and technical ability in the final third, and Cherki will help them open up goal-scoring opportunities. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite exciting for the French attacker, and Liverpool will be an attractive destination for him.
The Merseyside outfit are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been fighting for major trophies regularly. The Reds are fighting for the Premier League title this season and if they can go all the way in the coming months, players will find it difficult to turn them down in the summer.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the young Frenchman to join them instead of Liverpool. Both clubs have exciting projects, but Liverpool are better placed to fight for major trophies right now. Tottenham are going through a period of rebuilding, and they might need some time before they can compete with elite clubs.
