Liverpool target Rayan Cherki has been made available by Lyon for €30 million as interest in the player looks to make that next step in his career..
Cherki is a man that is now on the agenda of the Liverpool and Chelsea board – as he fits the criteria of being one of the most exciting young players in the game that has the ability to develop into one of the best stars in the game.
It has been claimed that Lyon do not want to sell – but that has not stopped the reports in the media that the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea will make contact over a possible deal for the talented star in the coming windows.

Cherki is a real talent guys, he could be a brilliant addition to that Liverpool squad if they reignite their interest in the winter window, which we believe will happen as they want to keep on improving the side.
For the money that is being talked about, the lad is certainly a player that Arne Slot would love to have in the side and a player that could develop into a class act

Salah has been one of the best players in the Premier League for quite some time now and one of the best finishers that Liverpool fans have seen in recent times.
He managed 24-goals for LIVERPOOL last season, but this season he has started the campaign in great fashion and giving everything he possibly can for the Reds in what seems to be his final season at the club.
Salah is one of three key players into the last year of his contract at Anfield alongside Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold and manager Arne Slot has admitted the trio “could become a problem” for the Reds.
Salah has been linked with a move to the Middle East in the last year and has one year remaining on his Reds contract. As it stands, he will be free to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
What has happened?
Liverpool have been scouting potential replacements for Mohamed Salah and have earmarked Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo according to reports, with suggestions they are ready to pay some big money for the attacker.
Mbeumo has impressed this season with eight goals in nine Premier League appearances and has “been monitored by Liverpool for some time”

There will continue to be alot of transfer speculation regarding the future of Mo Salah and where he will end up, he is certainly a player that Arne Slot will miss once he departs LIVERPOOL
But no disrespect to Mbeumo, he is not the man that could help fill the boots of Salah, he is quality, but is nowhere near the level of the Egyptian star and to be honest, fans would not be happy with this signing.
KUDUS PRICE SET

The 23-year-old has scored seven goals and registered seven assists in the Premier League since his move from Ajax, and incoming Liverpool boss Arne Slot is thought to be a huge admirer of Kudus after seeing him in action during his time in the Netherlands.

Many people doubted that Kudus would be abl to adapt to the quality and pace of the Premier League when he made the decision to sign for West Ham in the summer – but he really has impressed in that Hammers shirt.
The news that LIVERPOOL are interested will not come as a massive shock to West Ham – especially as they may need a replacement for Mohamed Salah – but for the money that is being talked about is made.
£85 million for Kudus is alot of money and we are not even sure that he has the ability to score 20,30 goals a season that the club may need in the future. He would be a solid enough signing – but as we said – not for the kind of money that is being talked about.
It will be interesting to see how much transfer kitty that Arne Slot will get – he needs to freshen up this side and fans will expect some big named signings.
