Tottenham target agrees personal terms with transfer set in stone
Tottenham have been exploring a move for Rayan Cherki this summer, with the Lyon winger subject to transfer interest from other clubs as well.
Given Son Heung-min’s uncertain future at Spurs, the North London outfit are keen on making a move for a wide attacker.
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham future has not yet been resolved but the hierarchy are planning for the transfer window.
Manchester City agree personal terms with Cherki
According to Steve Kay from Football Transfers, Manchester City have reached an agreement on personal terms with the French winger.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been tracking the 21-year-old for the past few months and have finally secured a breakthrough in their pursuit.

| Cherki | 30 | 8 | 11 |
The Citizens are expected to submit a bid on Wednesday, 4 June, before they finalise the transfer and make the deal official.
Tottenham wanted to sign him as he was keen on a Premier League move, but they have missed out on his signature to City, who are having a big-spending summer.
Tottenham may step up Leroy Sane pursuit
As Spurs are eyeing a winger and have missed out on Cherki, they may switch their focus elsewhere.
Leroy Sane is understood to be keen on joining Tottenham and they could now step up the pursuit to sign him from Bayern Munich.
Signing the Germany international on a free transfer would be a low-risk, high-reward move for the Lilywhites, given his proven quality and versatility.
At 29, the former Manchester City winger brings Premier League experience, technical flair and a knack for delivering in big moments, with 39 goals and 46 assists in 135 Premier League games for City.
His pace, dribbling, and ability to play on either wing or as an attacking midfielder would complement the manager’s system.
Sane’s creativity could fill the gap left by an ageing Son, while his experience adds leadership to a young squad.
With no transfer fee, Tottenham avoid financial risk, and even if Sane’s form dips, his pedigree ensures a high ceiling.
His wages may be substantial, but the potential to unlock defences and boost the club’s top-four push makes this a shrewd, high-upside signing for a club aiming to compete.
