Chelsea are considering the signing of Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki, who has been likened to the great Zinedine Zidane.
The playmaker is being compared to Zidane for his attacking nature and goal-scoring ability in the French Ligue1
According to Football London, the Blues Chelsea are keen to replace Mason Mount, who has agreed a move to join their rivals Manchester United and have identified Cherki as a perfect candidate.
The French midfielder has become a senior player at Lyon.
Pundits feel his signing could be smart business by Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly.
At only 19, the France Under-21s international, who can also play out wide, would provide the versatility and quality to improve Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s team next season.
