Chelsea focus will remain fixed on finalizing a move for Moises Caicedo from Brighton. That is before turning their attention to the potential signing of Lyon’s Rayan Cherki.

During this summer, the spotlight at Stamford Bridge has largely centered on the considerable number of player sales. Thus, generating significant attention. Nevertheless, there remains speculation that the Blues are actively pursuing new signings to strengthen their squad.

Recently, there have been strong links between Chelsea and Lyon’s 19-year-old playmaker, Rayan Cherki. However, it appears that Mauricio Pochettino’s side is currently prioritizing the pursuit of 21-year-old midfielder Moises Caicedo from fellow Premier League club Brighton.

According to reports from Football.London, Chelsea continues to view Rayan Cherki as a transfer target. The club has already reached out to the player and his representatives. The feedback received from them indicates a positive stance regarding the possibility of a potential transfer to Chelsea.

Chelsea plans to sign Caicedo as well as Rayan Cherki

Chelsea’s priority is to conclude the Moises Caicedo transfer saga before shifting their focus to other potential signings in the transfer market. They aim to resolve the Caicedo situation before actively pursuing other targets, such as Rayan Cherki.

The report further states that Chelsea and Brighton are to continue their discussions over the weekend. That will be regarding the potential transfer of Moises Caicedo, the defensive midfielder. However, it was revealed that Brighton recently turned down a second bid from Chelsea, which was in the vicinity of £70 million.

While Chelsea is engaging in negotiations for Moises Caicedo, they are also keen on securing Rayan Cherki’s signature. Described as “very talented” by Lyon manager Laurent Blanc, Cherki’s potential addition to Chelsea is perceived as an exciting prospect if the transfer comes to fruition. The club is undoubtedly focusing to avoid missing out on such a promising talent.

Rayan Cherki, the attacking midfielder, possesses superb dribbling skills and is proficient with both feet. His adventurous style of play makes him an exciting player for supporters to watch. According to reports from French publication But Football Club, Lyon is seeking around €50 million (£43 million) for Cherki’s potential transfer, indicating the level of investment Chelsea may need to secure his services.
