Another club that would enter the race to sign Rayan Cherki is Chelsea. The English team would be interested in signing the player to further strengthen their midfield, but other teams are also interested in signing him.
Chelsea is already evaluating what kind of moves it can make ahead of the January transfer window. One of the names that has started to sound in the club’s orbit has been Rayan Cherki. The 20-year-old player is part of the Olympique Lyon squad, with whom he has a contract until 2025.
Cherki’s sporting performance has caught the attention of the Blues, although he is not the first team to be interested in him. In fact, Chelsea would be the third to join the race for the French player, as Newcastle and Manchester United had already expressed their interest in him in the previous weeks.

Rayan Cherki’s numbers in the current Ligue 1 season are important. The French midfielder has participated in all possible matches and in most of them he has started as a starter. Therefore, he is one of the fixed pieces within the squad of Italian coach Fabrio Grosso.
Chelsea is always interested in keeping an eye on promising young players, and that is why the rumor of a possible signing of Rayan Cherki is not at all surprising. According to information provided by Football Insider, Chelsea would be willing to sign this young star during the winter market if the opportunity arises.

At the moment, there is no concrete offer from the Blues, especially because they currently have a solid midfield in the team, especially after the arrival of Cole Palmer to Stamford Bridge. However, it is well known that Chelsea loves to sign young players under the age of 25 with good potential, and that is why Cherki fits so well into this.
