According to a revelation from Fabrizio Romano, although there were a series of rumors during the summer transfer window, Chelsea actually never implemented a plan to recruit Rayan Cherki. However, if Cherki appeared on the market at this time, he would still be sought after by many clubs.
The Italian journalist said:
“Despite the connections, Rayan Cherki was never an option for Chelsea in the summer. I don’t know why there are so many rumors about Cherki and Chelsea, but they always have other plans. The reason has to do with the tactical aspect.”

Chelsea has no plans to recruit Cherki in the summer.
“Certainly, these are not easy times in Lyon for Cherki. It is also understandable if a player falls into a stressful situation, when things are not going well… I am sure that there are many clubs who want to sign Cherki, in case he is available in the transfer market. “
In fact, Chelsea also needs to upgrade their attack, but instead of a versatile player like Cherki, they are yearning for a classy central striker.
