Very skillful RW from Lyon. The Athletic have said previously that he has the potential to be a future Ballon d'Or winner.
More consistent Hatem Ben Arfa and built like a brick ****house in comparison. Not sure how good he is at lawn tennis though
Rayan Cherki is muslim too, so he might be the next big star after Salah retires for us to fill a market in the muslim world which will please PIF I'm sure. Much like skillful Ben Arfa dribbler type maverick players Eddie will have to get him to work harder without the ball though to get him to work in our current system.
Doing it in France is less impressive though tbh. In all honesty, I'm sure he's a good player but Cherki has been touted as a player about to get a big move for a few years now (he's only going to be 22 at the end of the season but has been talked about since he was 17-18 as he made his debut for them aged 16). Everyone in Europe has had a chance to have a look at him and the fact he has a £19m release clause (apparently) and no-one has snapped him up feels noteworthy. If we decide he's worth getting then I'll trust our scouts. They've been pretty good so far.
Cherki has always been credited with a pretty poor attitude. If he hasn't grown out of this then I don't think Eddie will go anywhere near him
Cherki is the skillful maverick that wins tight games with an exceptional bit of skill. If we can get him then do it.
Cherki is a huge talent. From what I’ve seen of him (in videos) I looks like a skilful player with a lot of energy.
100% we should be in for him. Talented lad, potential to develop. Only concern would be attitude and work rate compared to Murphy and Gordon. Depending on cost I’d still prefer Mbuemo for the RW
