With more departures also expected from Tottenham♚ before the window shuts next week, Ange Postecoglou’s side could end summer on quite the high note if they can bring in a one or two more signings as well as ship off more deadwood.

Fulham make bid for Tottenham target Rayan Cherki

According to , Fulham have made an opening offer worth £12m to sign Olympique Lyonnais star Rayan Cherki, who is expected to be on the move this summer.

Tottenham have also been linked with Cherki💟, who is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in France having been around on the scene for the past five years after making his professional debut at the age of 16.

ꦍPraised as an ‘exceptional’ player via , Tottenham losing out to Fulham to Cherki would be quite the surprise given what the north London side can offer the French youth international over the Cottagers.

🌃However, given how ambitious Fulham have been this summer, Cherki could be tempted to make the move to west London, where the 21-year-old could play a key role for Marco Silva’s side in the new Premier League season.

Cherki could favour Fulham move over Spurs

꧟Fulham have been something of a surprise package in the Premier League in the last two seasons after back-to-back midtable finishes having broken their usual stereotype as a yo-yo club.

♚And with Silva creating a new culture at Fulham, Cherki could be tempted to make the move to west London over Tottenham, where the attacking midfielder might not feature as heavily under Ange Postecoglou.

ꦗIndeed, something special is happening at Fulham, and for Cherki, Craven Cottage could be the ideal destination to take his career to the next level after 18 months of struggles at Lyon.
