Rayan Cherki set to leave Lyon for Fulham in the summer

Fulham are reportedly planning to make a move for Lyon forward Rayan Cherki in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

Cherki, 20, has been a long-term target for Fulham, who were interested in signing him in January. The French youth international has a contract with Lyon until 2025, but he is expected to leave the club this summer when he will have just one year left on his deal.

Cherki is a highly talented player who has been tipped for a big future. He has made 72 appearances for Lyon, scoring 11 goals and providing 13 assists. He has also been capped by France at under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-20 level.

Fulham are confident that they can sign Cherki in the summer. They are willing to pay a significant fee for him, and they believe that he can be a key player for them in the Premier League.

The Cottagers are currently in 17th place in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone. They have scored 32 goals in 23 games, which is the second-lowest total in the league. Cherki would add creativity and attacking flair to their team, and he could help them to improve their goalscoring record.

If Fulham do sign Cherki, it would be a major coup for the club. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could be a key part of their team for many years to come.
