Premier League giants Chelsea held talks about signing Lyon wonderkid Rayan Cherki this summer.

The Blues are focusing on moving players out of the club during the early part of the transfer window.

With the likes of Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all leaving, there are plenty of transfer funds.

Football.london have claimed that Chelsea are looking at Cherki as a summer signing.

The Blues want an additional midfielder, given the fact that N'Golo Kante has also departed.

The two clubs have good relations after Malo Gusto signed for Chelsea in January.
