West Ham United want to sign Rayan Cherki

West Ham United are interested in signing Rayan Cherki from Lyon, according to Fichajes. Lyon are willing to sell Cherki for €30 million, and West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is willing to pay that fee to bring the young attacker to London Stadium in the January transfer window.

Cherki is only 21 years of age and can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger. The French youngster has been superb for Lyon over the years and has established himself as one of the most important players in the first team.

The France Under-21 international scored one goal and gave six assists in 19 starts and 14 substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for Lyon last season. Cherki has scored one goal in seven minutes in Ligue 1 and has scored one goal in one UEFA Europa League match for Lyon so far this campaign.
