According to ESPN, Chelsea are reported readying an opening bid for Lyon wonderkid Rayan Cherki as they eye a replacement for Christian Pulisic. Pulisic deal is already made official by AC Milan, with the USMNT midfielder currently with the Serie A giants.
And the Blues are already moving to replace Pulisic, with Cherki one of the top targets. Currently under a contract at Lyon until June 2025, the France U21 international is keen to join Chelsea, and is valued at around €40m by the Ligue 1 outfit. Montpellier goal-machine Elye Wahi is also on the London club’s shortlist.
At least three Chelsea scouts agree that the french international is worth going for as Chelsea set to bolster their squad after seeing the departure of many first team players.
