Tottenham are leading the race to sign sensational Lyon star Rayan Cherki this summer, according to CaughtOffside.
The French playmaker has lit up Ligue 1 and the Europa League this season with his boyhood club, registering 12 goals and 18 assists in all competitions, and the Lilywhites are said to be keen on adding creativity to their squad in the upcoming transfer window.
Cherki is now expected to leave Lyon at the end of the season due to their financial situation and big interest in his signature, but it's Spurs who are said to be at the front of the queue currently.
Tottenham Frontrunners for Cherki
Player wants Premier League move
Tottenham are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window with Timo Werner's loan definitely not being renewed, while Mathys Tel's future is up in the air and the club will consider offers for Richarlison - who GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed is attracting interest from former club Everton.
There are also doubts over manager Ange Postecoglou's future for next season, with some suggestion that James Maddison could look to leave if the Australian ends up staying in north London.
All those question marks in attack explain why Spurs are looking to move for Cherki, who is expected to be available for as little as £25m due to a release clause in his contract, which Fabrizio Romano has described as complicated.
Spurs are said to be leading the race alongside Manchester United, while there is also interest from the likes of Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa in the Premier League as well as Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and AC Milan across Europe.
But the 21-year-old, who has been described as "one of the most skilful players on Earth" by Frank Lebouef, is said to be keen on a new challenge and views the Premier League as his preferred destination.
It remains to be seen if Levy will make a move for the young star while the future of the manager is still up in the air, but if he decisive then there is every chance Cherki will be playing his football at Tottenham next season.
