Tottenham sent a scout for a player to add to the offense and will be impressed and recruited.
British Spurs Web reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Tottenham Scouts were deeply impressed by a player in the match between Manchester United and Lyon'
Spursweb said: "'Tottenham Scouts went on a journey to watch Lyon striker Rayan Cherki play in last week's Europa League match. Tottenham also sought ways to recruit Cherki in the transfer market in January, but it did not come true. Tottenham want to sign Cherki and are expected to face fierce competition for him in the summer transfer window. Scouts from Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle, as well as Tottenham, watched Cherki in the match.

Cherki, a prospect born in 2003, made his professional debut in 2019 after playing for the Olympique Lyon youth team. At the time of his debut, he drew tremendous attention for his dribbling using solid skills and balance. His ability to use both feet and his dribble to stir up defense was also compared to Eden Hazard, who exploded his potential in Lille, France.
Along with his distinct growth, Cherki has consistently attracted the attention of European big clubs since his debut. Although it has experienced difficult times in the 2021-2022 season, it has signaled a rebound in the 2022-2023 season. This season, he has been playing as Lyon's ace with his best performance since his debut with 11 goals and 18 assists in 38 official games. In the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Manchester United, he did not miss the mistake of the opposing goalkeeper Onana and finished with a goal at the gate, leading to a dramatic draw for the team.
Since he can play both sides and offensive midfielders and is a player with a clear offensive ability, big clubs have offered courtship in each transfer market, and he is likely to leave Lyon in the upcoming summer transfer market. It is known that several teams, including Manchester City, are already considering the possibility of recruiting Cherki. Tottenham also seems to have put Cherki up as a candidate for reinforcement of the offense.

It is also attractive that Cherki's expected transfer fee is low. Spursweb said 'Cherky is expected to be available for a transfer fee of 30 million pounds (about 50 billion won). It's certainly cheap for the amount of money you can bring in Cherki-level talent. However, the possibility of intensifying competition cannot be ruled out due to low transfer fees.
Many big clubs began to pay attention to the player Tottenham paid attention to. Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham will succeed in reinforcing its offense by embracing Cherki this summer.
