Arsenal get green light to sign ‘one of the best attacking midfielders in France’
ARSENAL have the chance to sign Lyon winger Rayan Cherki for a cut-price fee in the January transfer window, according to reports as his current side are willing to let the attacker leave.
The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in France, scoring six goals and registering seven assists in 22 appearances for Lyon so far this season, and he is reportedly a player that all the big clubs have been very interested in signing for the last few years,
Lyon’s precarious financial situation means that the French club have been banned from making any new signings in the January transfer window, and according to Sky Germany, Lyon have a verbal agreement in place with Cherki where the club would allow him to leave if they receive an offer worth €22.5m (£19m).
PSG, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are also interested in a possible move for the winger.

What we have seen from that board in the last couple of windows, is that if Arsenal want a player, they will pay whatever it takes to get a transfer deal done and sign the stars the club needs.
Cherki is a real talent guys, he could be a brilliant addition to that Arsenal squad if they reignite their interest in the winter window, which we believe will happen as they want to keep on improving the side and add some depth to the squad.
For the money that is being talked about, the lad is certainly a player that Mikel Arteta would love to have in the side and a player that could develop into a class act. But there are a few other clubs that are probably willing to offer far more money.
Add that to the fact that ARSENAL already have a number of wingers, Cherki may not even be interested in a move to the Emirates.
