Tottenham handed the chance to sign 13-G/A attacker "comparable to Messi"
Today at 12:00 PM
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been offered the chance to sign the Lyon attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki, as per GMS.
The 21-year-old will be out of contract in 2026 and he has been linked with an exit this month. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign him. The French attacking midfielder has proven himself to be a quality performer in Ligue 1 and he has the technical attributes to do well in England as well.
Tottenham could certainly use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the versatile Frenchman would be a quality long-term investment. He is capable of operating in the number ten role as well as in the wide areas. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
The North London club wanted to sign the player a few months ago as well.
The attacking midfielder has five goals and eight assists to his name this season and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure his signature. The 21-year-old is highly rated across Europe and Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas believes that he is comparable to Lionel Messi in terms of technical ability.
He said: "Cherki is comparable to Messi in terms of technical quality."
The 21-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a key player for Tottenham. With the right guidance, he could be a star in the Premier League.
Given his contract situation, he is likely to be available for a reasonable price this month and the move could look like a major bargain in the long-term.
The player could be attracted to the idea of competing in the Premier League as well. Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his world-class potential.
