Tottenham step up talks to seal brand new £25m transfer
Tottenham are keen on making new signings this summer after a disastrous domestic season.
Ange Postecoglou’s future is still in doubt, and it may hinge on whether or not he’s able to guide his side to glory in the Europa League.
They have to beat Bodo/Glimt before facing either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao in the final.
Rayan Cherki’s entourage approach for Spurs for summer transfer
Lyon winger Rayan Cherki has had another good season domestically and in Europe and has been linked to elite clubs across the continent.
It’s understood that Spurs are among those keen on signing him in the summer transfer window.
According to reliable journalist Sebastien Vidal, the North London outfit have been approached by the representatives of the 21-year-old French winger.
| 2024-25 stats (all competitions) | Rayan Cherki |
| Appearances | 41 |
| Goals | 12 |
| Assists | 19 |
This has seen Tottenham stepping up transfer talks ahead of a potential deal to bring him to North London in the coming months.
They’re keen on getting an edge over the competition and may have to shell out £25million to secure his services.
Vidal wrote: “Tottenham have been approached again by Rayan Cherki’s entourage regarding a summer transfer. Spurs, already attracted by his profile, have stepped up talks and want to gain an edge over the competition. Estimated price: £25million.”
Tottenham must consider Cherki transfer
The Frenchman would be an exceptional signing for Spurs, bringing versatility, creativity and long-term potential to their attacking unit.
With 12 goals and 19 assists in the 2024/25 season, Cherki’s flair, ambidextrous dribbling make him a creative monster capable of unlocking defences.
His ability to play as a number 10, winger, or deeper midfielder aligns perfectly with what Tottenham need, offering competition for James Maddison and Brennan Johnson while addressing Spurs’ need for incisiveness in the final third.
At the price being quoted, Cherki represents a bargain for a player likened to Lionel Messi for his dribbling and vision.
Despite past concerns about his attitude, his recent performances and leadership for France U21 suggest maturity.
Joining Tottenham’s youthful squad, Cherki could thrive in the Premier League, accelerating his development into a world-class talent while boosting Spurs’ European ambitions
