Cherki was once close to joining Paris Saint-Germain, but he chose to move to Borussia Dortmund instead. However, he has expressed his desire to play with his friends Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, who would have been his teammates at PSG.
Cherki's current team, Lyon, is not planning to sell him to PSG, which means he may have the chance to join an English club instead. He has already been linked to several top Premier League teams, including last season's champions and Europa League finalists Tottenham.
In the past, Cherki nearly joined Fulham for £16.7m, but he turned down the offer. He also visited Manchester United's training facilities a few years ago, sparking rumors of a potential move to the Premier League.
