Exclusive: Shaun Wright-Phillips discusses Chelsea's transfer policy<\/h3>\n

Tottenham and Chelsea target\u00a0Rayan Cherki has been put up for sale in the January transfer window for just \u00a38.5million by Lyon. Both Premier League clubs were reportedly keen on signing Cherki in the summer and could snap him up for a cut price in the New Year.<\/p>\n

According to Multiple reports, Chelsea\u00a0and Tottenham held talks with the player ahead of the 2023\/2024 campaign. However, Lyon refused to let Cherki go.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has been one of the few shining lights in an otherwise dismal season for the French giants. Lyon are currently rock bottom of Ligue 1 with only one win heading into matchday 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has been a dramatic fall for a team that reached the Champions League semi-finals only three years ago. Lyon have a worrying habit of selling their most talented young academy graduates so the fact that Cherki has been put up for sale comes as no surprise.<\/p>\n

Over the summer, Lyon lost Malo Gusto to Chelsea, in a deal that was agreed upon in January, while Castello Lukeba moved to RB Leipzig and Bradley Barcola to PSG. Now, the French newspaper L’Equipe claim Lyon want as little as \u00a38.5m for their next big thing.<\/p>\n

Former Lyon boss Laurent Blanc once branded Cherki as “exceptional”, and on his day there is no doubting his promise, but his inconsistency at\u00a0Parc Olympique Lyonnais has been concerning.<\/p>\n
