Chelsea are considering a potential move for Lyon wonderkid Rayan Cherki – and the 19-year-old is certainly living up to the hype with his performances for France Under-21s.

The young Frenchman enjoyed a breakout season for Lyon last term, scoring five goals and providing a further six assists for the French outfit.

According to Simon Phillips on Substack, the Blues are considering an approach for Cherki this summer.

Mason Mount is expected to complete a £60million transfer to Manchester United in the coming weeks leaving Mauricio Pochettino needing a replacement for the England international.

Lyon are understood to have set a £43million asking price for their talented playmaker, as per But Football Club.
